Ripple What?

I had every good intention of making a ripple with the blue/brown/linen yarn.  I did!  I've tried 6 different patterns, and each with a different color sequence.  I finally had decided on doing a plain double crochet ripple.  Nothing special, just simple and pretty.  I had swatched.  I never swatch.  Here's the sample on the right.  The husband says it's "fugly" but I thought it looked ok.  The swatch is an idea of a full color repeat, he says that a) the colors don't go to together, and b) it just looks weird.  What do y'all think?  Do I need to scrap this project and give up on my idea of a blue/chocolate blanket?  Do I need to find a new pattern?  Do I need to find a new color pattern?

I like your colors, even though I already know you changed your mind on the pattern. ;)

Hi Amy! I saw your link in your signature of the email you sent me... I promise to email you back! What a nice blog! I give you credit for even attempting a "ripple afghan"... I have never completed one, apparently because I cannot count, ha ha. Actually I have tried knit and crochet patterns, but never got the hang of getting them right. I like your colors, actually, I have a granny square afghan started with almost identical colors - the only difference being I am using tan instead of linen color. So, have you decided if you are going to finish it yet?

And you're a soap fan, too! OMG!
