I'm Lovin' Muddy Waters

Muddy Waters and my Shadow!


Yep...I'm lovin' my Muddy Waters Ripple throw!


I finished the simple border this week.   

And finally the sun is shining to get some good photos.  

See my shadow!  

The border is just three rows of double crochet (US).  

Nice and easy and it simply enhances the ripple pattern.


Flowing down the Stairs...

I had fun outside with my ripple throw staging it for my photos.  


Running water....


It "sort of" looks like a "waterfall" doesn't it?

It's like a brook edged with green grass....

Muddy Waters and the cool, green grass of summer...


As I mentioned before this throw is going into our new travel van (previously blogged about here and here).  

It's a good size too....about 43 inches by 59 inches.  It covers my body very comfortable.  


Oh, boy, now I have to decide what will be my next crochet project.   

What will it be?

I've been printing some cute free crochet patterns off of Ravelry.  Maybe I will pick one of those.


So glad you stopped by to visit me!  

I hope you have a lovely day.


Oh, I forgot to mention...today is Flag Day here in the USA.  Mine is flying proudly.



I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
