Blanket Square #6: Ripple Stripe Pattern



The weather here in Michigan has been such a flirt. Last week we had the mercury upwards of 55-60F and this week we had snow. SNOW! Granted it did all melt but its officially Spring and we are still getting snow. I was informed by Sydney that Spring is coming because the birdies are coming back and that means spring. How did that child get so smart?

This weeks square is the Ripple Stripe Pattern and according to Barbara it is excellent for an easy knit. She also says it is excellent for sweaters, skirts and dresses.
