Here is my completed Ruffles and Ridges.
I knit this from Kauni Effektgarn 8/2 (purchased from The Loopy Ewe).
I lightly steam-blocked it and it measures 68 inches long, and 11.5 inches wide. I used approximately 600 yards and a US3 needle.
Cat included for scale.
Here is Sharon’s completed Ruffles and Ridges:
Sharon knit hers from Lola Doodles Posh Sock (purchased from The Loopy Ewe). Her scarf is 58 inches long and 7.5 inches wide, unblocked. She used approximately 400 yards and a US5 needle.
I’m working on completing the pattern, which will have mods for creating a triangular shawlette, tips for using your entire skein of yarn by knitting by the weight of the skein, tips for blocking, and a tutorial for short rows in garter stitch.
The pattern will not be available until next week because I’ve made arrangements to do a photo-shoot for the pattern mid-week, so you’ll get photos of it being worn by a cute model instead of Gwendolyn.
No offense, Gwendolyn.

Ruffles and Ridges is seriously beautiful. This one I would like to make.
R&R turned out very pretty! I like the size of yours, too. I tend to like my scarfy things a bit wider.

R&R will be a great addition to my Wendy library.
All time favorite flower is the pansy with their sweet little faces.
That is really handsome! But aren’t you due for a different yarn soon?
Beautiful R&R. Lucy is beautiful too.
Would love the Noni Flowers Book!
Love the R&R!
It’s so pretty!
Very Lovely! So glad Lucy approves too! Love the color.
Gladiolas are pretty cool!
Beautiful!
wow both versions are gorgeous. It comes across as the perfect pattern for a tonal or multicolored yarn. You could show off the yarn but not compete with the pattern. I may have to spin something special for this.

My favorite flower is the first one up after Winter.
For knitted flowers, it’s a rose.
Your R & R is lovely, being able to ‘customize’ the pattern for a specific amount of yarn is a real bonus!
thanks, Wendy.
Love all the flowers but would really like to learn how to do a pansy.
All of it are beautiful.you have a brilliant talent.Thanks for sharing.

Lucy is a blocker assistant extraoridinaire. I do hope she is properly rewarded for her work.
I love the R and R, Wendy, it looks very “snuggly”. Looking forward to getting the pattern.
My favorite flower is the rose, since that is my dear sister’s name! Would love the book.
I also like that scarf pattern and am looking forward to seeing the photos next week.
