When Favorite Son was getting ready to graduate from High School last year I told him I'd make him an afghan. It was my last year of teaching and I had other obligations and projects that kept getting in the way. I FINALLY finished it today!!
He picked out the colors and I found this ombre pattern that blended them together. The ripple stitch was easy to do. I think it turned out really well.
He's a tall fellow so I made it plenty big to keep him warm at college. Kind of like a momma's hug!
