Here they are, The Ripplers:



DAWN HRM (Head Ripple Mistress)

Who Am I? Shocked, just shocked to find myself somewhere in my 30s as full time caretaker of 3 little people, 2 English bulldogs and 1 husband.
Main Blog: Crochet Compulsive
Ripple Tally: one down (Beth's Little Star) , 3 going (lattice ripple from Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Crochet and a round soft waves ripple out of my head, and a sock), 2 lurking (thinking bags of bags)

Megan (Mistress of Blog Magic)

A bit about me: I'm the wife of an OIF veteran, I'm very proud of him and all soldiers who protect our country. I'm also the mother of a very active 2 year old daughter who amazes me every day with her intelligence and outspoken personality. I'm a business owner and self-proclaimed yarn addict. My shop is a dream come true, I get to crochet all day long - and get paid for it. I sell yarns and give crochet classes.
Blog: I can be found as Momtomaddie on LiveJournal
Ripples to date: 1 ripple baby blanket, 1 ripple bag, 1 star blanket - a few other stars currently on hooks, I have high hopes to start a scrap ripple soon.
Favorite Ripple: Any ripple based on the granny.

A little blurb about you: I'm a grandmother to a great 9-year old boy. I'm still working full-time but like to craft on my off time. Hubby retired and then went back to work to pay for his serious fishing passion. Have a pug PJ, an indoor cat Saffy, two birds, a fish aquarium, and four outdoor cats. There's a sign in front of my house that says to leave your spare kittens. ;)
Favorite ripple pattern: Gary's Ripple from the 200 Ripple pattern book, at least for now.
Ripple count: Three, but more to come, I'm sure.
Name: jmk
Blurb: Confirmed crochet addict (33 years and counting) with serious YAS, PAS and Obsessive Compulsive Snowflake Disorder. Swings between afghans and doilies, with occasional episodes of Seraphina shawls. Resides in England where she is currently *not* receiving treatment.
Fave ripple pattern: I like Soft Waves and Pink Ripple #16 but I've seen so many different patterns that look stunning with the right colour combinations that I couldn't say I had a favourite.
Ripple count: 1 done (yeeeeears ago), 1 frogged ("What-Was-I-Thinking?" colours), 1 WIP: my Roly-Sport Ripple
My blog name at Blogger is "fabric and yarn stasher"
Right now I love all ripples and want to try all kinds.
I've only made 1 !/2 afghans so far. The first is actually a knitted one that I made in the 70's. My 1/2 I started crocheting when I first started lurking around the ripple along. I can't wait to start another, I think a granny this time.
About me: I had my 60th birthday in January. I have a son(40), a son(36), and a daughter(28). Everyone has moved out so it's just my huband and I at home. The kids do work with us at our business so
I never had to deal with empty nest syndrome. They are always around. Right now my pets are Cotton(my cat), Sydney(my blue macaw), and Starburst and Skittles(a pair of sun conyers). I lost my best friend Brown Dog about a year ago. I am very passionate about all animals and thier well being. I love needlwork and crafts of all kinds but crocheting and quilting are my passion. And I love movies and music of all kinds.

Favorite ripple pattern: I don't have a favorite one just yet
Ripple count: I think that I may have done about four, but I could be wrong

I am a beader, knitter and crocheter. I have jumped/full body dive back into crocheting because of the ripple that Yarnstorm had on her blog. For me, 2007 will always be know as The Year of the Ripple. I am currently working on 9 afghans for christmas presents for the family: mom, dad, 6 brothers and 1 sister. Some won't be ripples.
Favorite ripple pattern: soft waves, storm clouds, but all ripples are good.
Ripple count: 5 so far. But I have been doing feather and fan (knit) for a looooong time now, great for socks too!

A little blurb about you: Although I am not married yet, my SO and I
are expecting our 1st child. So I am feverish crochet a ripple
blanket just for her/him. I knit, crochet, spin, have tried my hand
at sewing and beading. I just love to use my creative side.
Favorite ripple pattern: Soft waves or the entire 200 Ripple Stitch Book

ones). I made one of two baby ripples in the 80s. I have just
rediscovered the fun of ripples, and I'm working on two currently.
