Plan B August 26, 2008
I have been unhappy with my ripple afghan for a while now.
I haven’t ripped it out since I didn’t know quite what I would do instead.
Now I have an idea… Inspired by the multitudes of fantastic hexagon blankets on Ravelry (
) and in the Hexagon love flickr pool, I want to make one too.
I’ve got the book, so I gave it a try…
I think I am going to rip out the ripples and proceed with the hexagons. I am not going to aim as high as a queen sized blanket - more of a throw. And if I change my mind, I can easily add more hexes to the end and/or sides.
But, what do you think?

So I’m one of the few who voted for Ripples. Mostly because I am against ripping, but also because I like the undulating waves of the first pic. The hex’s are okay, but not as graphic. I friggin’ love those colors together!!
Definitely hexagons!
Hexagons bc i agree with your idea of adding some on later if you want it to be a bigger throw/blankie!
ek.
of course, this is from a constant frogger!
p.s. xoxo to the BEAN!!!
I can’t choose. Couldn’t you proceed with both? They both look pretty farkin’ fantastic, IMO!
I was wondering how you are able to read the hexagon pattern in the book, it is in Japanese?? I love the hexagon blanket, great choice of yarn.
How about rows of hexagons joined by rows of ripples? Done right, it could look really awesome.
