What does one do when one's small 1400 sq ft home starts getting taken over by the following?:
and this:
and then one stumbles across a pattern in this book called "Bobble Zigzags".
Ooooo, I love the way that sounds:
"Bobble Zigzags", "Bobble Zigzags", "Bobble Zigzags",
I want to keep saying it and saying it!
Well then..one starts this, of course....
No rhyme or reason to the color pattern; as a color pattern could prompt another
"I ran out of this color" yarn run,
and the idea is to use what one has.
The rule - one can only use one's stash unless one runs out of white.
One can never have enough white!
Bobble Zigzags!!!
There, I had to write it one more time to get it out of my system.
I feel much better now. :-)
(Completion of this afghan will be in a forthcoming post.)
Have a good weekend and be sure to check back for week 2 of 5 of the
Crochet-A-Long this Tuesday, March 27th.
That is such a pretty pattern - and the colors are gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the colors and the pattern! I'm going to have to find that book soon to take care of a certain overwhelming collection....thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove this !!! So pretty !
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun afghan! Bobble zigzags...that is fun to say! I can't wait to see the finished blanket. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're making a really nice version of a zig zag afghan. I've never seen it with bubbles before. I'm looking forward to seeing it completed. :o)
ReplyDeleteWow Astri, this is stunning! Beautiful colours and a gorgeous pattern. I'm going to see if I can get hold of this book. You have such fabulous yarns in the US.....lucky you!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :-)

"Zigzag Bobbles" is also intoxicatingly addictive to say. I can't decide which is more fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and happy afghan! A good way to tame the erupting yarn volcano. (I have one in my living room too - a yarn volcano I mean.)
I've never done a bobble or a zigzag so I am sure I would never figure the two out at the same time. It looks great! Now I can't get BOBBLE ZIGZAGS out of my head. :) I sat and crocheted using what I have around me -- my same little space on the loveseat is a big mess from all the yarn. I must clean it up today. Have a good one! Tammy
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing. I love the colours you've used it looks bright & cheery.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about having a go at making a zigzag afghan, this has really inspired me & once I can achieve that ..... then maybe Bobble Zig Zag!!!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful this is! I've done bobbles & ripples, but never did them together like THIS! It's absolutely gorgeous Astri. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWooow, that pattern looks so awesome! :D Very summery too; I suspect this will be a big hit when it's finished!
ReplyDeletexo,
wink
LOOOOOve it!
ReplyDeleteNydelig teppe!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I never thought a quickly thrown together afghan from the stash would generate so many wonderful comments. Thank you all so very much!
ReplyDeleteThis is really spectacular!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern and the colors!
Oh wow hon - this is a stunning pattern! I adore it. Was it very tricky to do?

Thank you Little Treasures!
ReplyDeleteLeah - it was quite simple to make. Just sc ripple rows with a bobble row. Lots of fun and it works up fast in spite of it's density.
Oh, my, Astri, I love your ripple. I have the book and found the stitch and I don't know if I would have chosen it for a ripple if I hadn't seen yours all finished. It is just stunning...I just love your colors. I have to go to Michaels tomorrow and get some new yarn. I've been inspired. Thank you so much! I needed a new project to get me going and ripples are so much fun to do.
