started a crochet ripple afghan

Started this yesterday!  Found a great pattern for a ripple afghan here — this woman makes such cool stuff!  I like the pattern because it’s reminiscent of the old zig-zag afghans our grandmas made without being so… old looking.  Now I did use “vintage” colors — in fact, the yarn is Berocco’s “Vintage Chunky.”  It’s a little expensive but it’s machine washable, very soft, and made of 50% acrylic, 40% wool, and 10% nylon.  Emphasis on ‘very soft.’
