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."

The Colors

I love the colors in my current "work in progress" crocheted ripple throw...

Muddy Waters!  

Shades of brown and aqua mist!

It's Lucy at Attic24's ripple pattern (pattern here) and first blogged about (here).

The ripple pattern

I alternated the two bands of browns throughout the throw.

Muddy Waters a Work In Progress

We've been busy with some personal stuff so I haven't been able to crochet much lately.  Since taking this photo I have sewn all the ends in and I'm working on the border.  So far I have decided to leave the ripple ends as is with the variegated yarn and for the straight sides I'm adding three rows of double crochet in the variegated yarn.

This is a longer throw...it will cover my body...and it isn't too heavy either.  

I'm thinking of putting it in our new travel van. 

It's currently a red hot 93 degrees F. here.  

I think it's suppose to get up to 98 degrees F. today. 

That's too darn hot.

I hope it's cooler where you are.

Muddy Waters

What's new at Teacup Lane?

Have you guessed?

What's brown, tan and aqua?

Crocheted into RIPPLES...

Lots of RIPPLES...

Variegated colors....

Could it be?

Yes, I think it is!

Muddy Waters!

Hope you enjoyed having a sneak peek at my current crochet project....oh, yes...I know...it's another ripple throw in luscious brown, tan and aqua (using Caron's Simply Soft yarn).

I'm calling this one Muddy Waters.

I played around with my camera today taking a video of Muddy Waters.  

I hope I can figure out how to post the video.  I think if you click on MVI 1613 below it will take you to the video posted on Flickr.  If it doesn't work at least I tried.
Update:  The video didn't post on Flickr.  Not sure what I did wrong.

Muddy Waters is still a work in progress but I just couldn't wait to share it with you.  

Ripples are so easy to do while watching TV at night.  

It's a beautiful day here - 75 degrees - sunny and no humidity.  I'm working in the yard putting flowers in our shed's window boxes today.  

And maybe, if I'm not too pooped out, I will try to pressure wash our screened in porch/deck this afternoon.
