Ian and I are going away for a week tomorrow. We are visiting our son Alexander in New Plymouth and this means a ferry crossing over the Cook Strait to Wellington and then a drive of four hours or so.I am very excited...it is my birthday on Saturday and I have a visit to a couple of knitting shops planned, and we will be seeing some of Monet's paintings which are being exhibited at Te Papa along with Renoir, Degas, and Cezanne.
I shall be away from my blog for a while and thought I would show something I finished today.
My crocheted ripple blanket. I loved making this so much, I found it very calming to do when I was trying to relax before a concert, or a Dentist appointment !
I think I will take it with me on the ferry crossing, it might have the same curative power as the seasickness tablets.

Have a lovely time and enjoy the Impressionists. I'm hopeless on the ferry and did exactly what you're doing - took a pillow and a cuddly blanket along with my sea legs. And the crossing was so surprisngly good, I didn't get to nap at all.
Happy hols, happy birthday, happy happy blanket. Beautiful!
I would love to read about your trip! How long is the ferry crossing? We used to ride a ferry across the Columbia River before they built the bridge between Oregon and Washington. I was disappointed when it was discontinued.
Love that blanket! Cx

I have been thinking about making a ripple blanket for a while and having now seen your beautiful I will have to put it on my to do list for this winter. Hope you have a great trip and get home safely. x
