Frances' Ripple Afghan

During a visit with Grandma Schad, she mentioned that her friend Frances, who had died several years ago, had started crocheting a ripple afghan before her death. Grandma gave me the unfinished afghan and asked if I thought I could complete it with the skeins of yarn that were with it. I agreed to try. I guessed at the gauge, counted the stitches and tried to imagine the pattern in completion. I think I did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself, and it was an honor to complete a piece for such a good friend and accomplished crocheter.
