I got my coast ripple up to a throw size: 56" x 44"
It is long enough to cover my toes/lap.
I evened out the ends and got both sides bordered in teal. I didn't add 18 stripes, only 8, because I really do not like having to count... plus I ran out of the Aspen color.
I have since ordered 2 more packs from the Attic24 section at WoolWarehouse: Original and Harmony! I will go with a plain ol' granny row that requires no counting next time. :)
I need a break from this blanket for a bit, but I am going to add another round to the border, probably a sc or hdc (UK terms); and make a label before I give it to my mother-out-law when she visits for spring break next month.

How did you go? I am done with ripples for a bit... But I like these colors and I will work with them again. In fact, I'm making a granny square blanket with them right now.
Did you have fun with something old? I am glad to be 'done' (still have 2 steps to go) with this project. It will be fun to give it away!
Was it easy to decide what to choose to work on? Yes, because she is coming to visit soon.
Needed new fabrics for it? Nope, it all came in the yarn pack.
Were you able to make Substantial Progress with it? Y es!
Beautiful stitching! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
