Round ripple in thread ** Very last pixs post 59**

[vonnie]

Well I am makeing the round ripple in thread, size 10, hook size 7 and it is takeing forever!!! I have used three full balls of Traditions in white with 5 rows of beige mixed in, it is only about 30" across. I have one more ball of white left and hopefully enough beige for one more row. I would post a picture but can't while I am on the road......so help me finish this last ball of thread and I think I will try and put beads around the outside then when I get home I will take a picture and show you how a round ripple looks in thread......I think I am on row 54 don't know how many a round ripple afghan has but it seems to take forever to get around it now.....

You can do it. I started a round ripple in thread to match a round ripple ghan I made for my best friend/sister, but it is on hold right now. I have too many ghans to make before I can get back to the thread one. I do pick it up every once in a while and do a round or two. I haven't decided how big I will make my thread one. Can't wait to see yours.

YOU CAN DO IT :clap:clap
:cheer GO VONNIE :cheer

[msmusic]

Vonnie, can't wait to see the result!

If you're REAL ambitious, wouldn't this make an AWESOME bedpread throw???? Just kidding, but someone might want to try it.

[catheryn]

:kick :kick :kick
Just a little love pat to keep you motivated!!:manyheart

[luckybmr]

:cheer Go :cheer Vonnie :cheer Go:cheer . I have thought of doing one in thread for a tablecloth - can't wait to see yours.

[laurastar0962]

GGGGGGGGGOOOOOoOOOoo Vonnie!!

[vonnie]

Well, I ran out of thread, and it is only 36" diameter. I used, approx, 1800 yds of thread so far. 4 full balls of traditions white at 400 yds a ball and then I added beige every 11 rows for 1 row. I was going to stop but if I can find a few more balls of white that looks like it will match then I am going to do at least another set of rows and get it to around 40". I can't get anymore thread until I get back to OR as the town I am in now isn't big enough to have a yarn store.....soooooo the saga goes on, I will keep you posted and add pictures when I get home. Thanks for the encouragement.

[Vanessa's Granny]

It sounds like it is going to be beautiful, can't wait to see the pictures.

[JoBug]

Go Vonnie!! Go find more thread now...lol...
you can do it!! I can't wait to see pics

[Heather M.]

OH I bet will be soooo very elegent!!! I can't wait to see it!!!

[charitas32]

keep going it sounds absolutely beautiful

[vonnie]

OK, this is where we are, I have ran out of thread, but have ordered more, I think it needs to be just a little bit bigger....what do you think?

Here it is on my queen sized bed:

and another view

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u128/vonn1e/Crochetdoilies008.jpg

Here it is on the steering wheel table...I think it needs to be longer and maybe with some beads?????

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u128/vonn1e/Crochetdoilies010.jpg

do you like the white with beige???

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u128/vonn1e/Crochetdoilies011.jpg

I didn't think I would like the RR in thread, but I really do......

How about you?? Do you think it looks ok???:think

[Aelita]

Ooohh that is so pretty you did an awesome job. I never would have thought to make a round ripple in thread.

[susy12]

Nice! I think I will make one for me. thanks for the inspiration.

[oliveoil]

WOW :drool :drool :drool !!!!!!!!

[champygirl]

Very gorgeous, never would of thought of using the round ripple pattern for a table cloth, good job.

[shadowpup]

Love it! It looks great as is. :yes No beads.:no

[Mandys76]

Oh that is simply divine! What a clever idea to put it in thread. You should be really proud of it, it's beautiful.

I wouldn't put any beads, it looks great as is.:clap :clap

[WendyLee]

I think it looks great!

[RoseRed]

I think it's perfect! all you need to do is edge it! I think the beads would look fab!!!

[Cherri]

It's beautiful! How much thread did you end up using?

[Crocus58]

What a beautiful job! The thread really brings out the 3D effect (at least on the bed I saw it). I'm on the "no beads" side.

[vonnie]

As it is now, I have used 4 full balls @ 400 yds each for the white and about 1/2 one of beige....so at least 1800 yds. I am waiting on more thread, I want another 12 rows or so, I want it a little longer on the steering wheel. It really came out better than I thought it would. I am going to try the beads (hey I am an old lady who likes beads) and can always take them back off if I don't like the way they look. I can't decide if I want to try seed beads and then put a bigger bead on the points....I am going to experiment and see what I like. But I have to wait for the new thread to come in, and also have to do my SWAP.....YEAH!!!! first.... I will post more pictures after I finish it....
Thanks for the nice compliments, that is why I love this site,,,,,,,all the nice warm feeling you get for people who appreciate all your hard work.....

[Adii]

Hello Here is a picture of my round ripple for my grandson. Oops not sure how to add a pcture

[DreamsOfYarn]

Vonnie, that is gorgeous. You have done a fantastic job on it. :clap:clap
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Now I hope that mine (that is on hold for now) turns out as pretty as yours. Then again, mine probably won't end up being that big. I am doing mine to match a round ripple ghan that I will be sending to my sister/best friend. It will probably end up being a really big doily!! She has 4 cats and they would see that as a great toy if I made it as a tablecloth!

[nnt]

Beautiful! I, for one, LOVE the beige and white together... very classy. :manyheart

[misssmaggie]

It is beautiful!!! I would not have picked those colors...but...they look great together!!! Thanks for sharing!

[maryann]

excellent! I had been tossing around the idea of making one for the steering wheel table(motorhome people will know what i mean) and now I know I will do it for sure,,, not in thread tho, I can't do too thin of thread, but will find something. Thank you so much for sharing this idea

~~maryann~~

[msmusic]

you just gave me an idea to make a thread round ripple to set my Christmas tree stand on next year ... I have LOTS of the Bernat handicrafter variegated thread that I bought on sale several years ago and have yet to complete anything with it!!

I love the way your RR turned out, looks great on the table.

[vonnie]

I can't wait to get home and see if the rest of my thread has arrived, I am really anxious to finish this up. I really think it needs to be a little bigger. I have decided not to add beads, I think it would distract from the tabletopper.......I think Christmas colors would look great, maybe I will make another one......blue/white......red/green/white ??? The choices are endless.....I am beginning to love this pattern and I wasn't sure at first, might have to try another rr afghan...Thanks to all for the nice compliments and comments...I will post updated pictures when it is done.

[vonnie]

OK, I got more thread same brand but it seems thicker. I am going to try a couple of rounds and see how it looks......I am so dissappointed in the thread, I was really wanting to make this bigger.......pictures are on post 16......I will repost if I do get to make bigger.......

[MsSuzKelly]

That is beautiful. I LOVE the Christmas tree skirt idea!!!!!!!!!! Hmm....I think there's a thread purchase in my future...LOL.

Keep up the good work vonnie!

[smrussell]

:bow I bow to a master craftsman when I see one! This is just outstanding! Too bad you didn't travel through Charlotte NC! I just purchased a cone of white thread that weighs 20 pounds! It is HUGE! LOL I have begun to change all patterns into thread patterns and do mostly baby dresses in threads. I am doing one in ECRU right now using a 9 pound cone... I have the purse to tote it too! So next time you are in NC and need white thread.. stop on by!

[vonnie]

I want to Thank you all for your :cheer me on...I did finally finish,

A Big Thank You :hug to Dreamsofyarn for sending me enough :yarn to finish this...OK pixs:

Before when I ran out of thread:

And now finished: Can't show it on the steering wheel table because Motorhome is in the shop, but you get the idea of size:

This was made with about 12 balls of size 10 DMC traditions Thread. Size 7 hook, it is just the same Round Ripple you have been making in yarn only I used thread.....it is approx 51" across...I put a shell edging on it.....

Hope you enjoy the pixs and again THANKS for all the encouragement:manyheart

[KF-in-Georgia]

Congratulations! It looks terrific!

[Hounddog]

Your afghan turned out beautiful. A lot of work I am sure.

[Elvee]

Wow, Vonnie! What a lot of work!!! Beautiful is what it is!

Lorry

[catheryn]

Vonnie, you are just amazing!!!! I would never tackle something like that!!!! It is beautiful!!!

[auntbubbels]

Wow - absolutely gorgeous - words do not even do it justice!!!


and Catheryn - I know you could do that :cheer

[crochetluvknot]

amazing its breathtaking

[DreamsOfYarn]

Vonnie, that is absolutely jaw dropping gorgeous. 51 inches in thread....that boggles my mind. I don't know if I would have the patience for one that big in thread.
The one I just finished in thread is about 26 inches. I found out from my best friend's husband that he is buying her a small round end table, gave me the size of it, and this is what this one will be for. I can't wait to give it to her when I go to see her Wednesday.

Yours is just stunning. Great job on it :clap:clap:clap:clap

[Krakovianka]

What an amazing project--definitely an heirloom. 12 balls of thread in one project just boggles the mind...

I bet it feels great to have it finished after all your thread woes!

[amdm]

I salute your patience. It is a truly beautiful round ripple. I have made one in thread myself, but it was a small one, meant for a small table. I would never attempt one this big, because I know I would never manage to finish it.

[Cotton Candee]

Gee Vonnie, you sure you don't want to do that again in embroidery thread for a painted effect???:angel

I tell you Vonnie, between this and what you have done in the past... My oh my... it is truely an artist when you see works like this! :nworthy

I am very very impressed with all your work! :photo

[tygger428]

51" across in thread? That's a lot of work, Vonnie, you did a wonderful job!

[Mel2nsluvsCrochet]

Vonnie!!!! Its gorgeous!!! Great fantabulous job!

[luvmnms]

OHMYGOSH, this is BEAUTIFUL!!! Great Job!

[threadlover]

That is so neat. I wish our steering wheel would go flat so I could do something like this. I am working on my ripple now with the #30 threads in alot of colors. It is slowly growing.
