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?
