I have been envious of people that can make round ripple blankets and i'm going to try my hand at one in a few weeks. I would say that I'm just over the intermediate line in my ability to crochet. I was just wondering how long it takes you to crochet an afghan like this one? Do you measure in days or by how many hours total? I think I'm just hoping for a gauge of how long to expect it to take me. Thank you for sharing your amazing ability! :)
This one took me about a week, and that's several (don't know how many) hours a day. If you want the free pattern, you can find it here (you might have to scroll down a little): http://stores.lulu.com/crochetdad -- Gene
Hi there! Just found this site while looking for how to do the Bavarian crochet, and I have to say you make lovely things! Love this star pattern too :)
The repetitive actions needed for knitting and crochet can bring the mind and body to a state called a "relaxation response" that is quite similar to what people experience with techniques such as repetitive prayer, yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, and other relaxation disciplines. Research at the Harvard Medical School Mind/Body Institute has found that when an individual is crocheting (or knitting) his/her heart rate can drop 11 beats a minute and his/her blood pressure drops as well. These results can have significant health benefits for people who knit and crochet. Therefore, I am a man who crochets. I design my own crochet and sell patterns and finished projects.

I was just reviewing the comments and realized that I pointed to Lulu, but had removed the pattern from that site. It is now available on Ravelry.
