Mixed Stripe Blanket

My first two children missed out on having nice things made for them as I didn't know the sex until they were born and time for such things was gone. I'm confident enough that Baby #3 is a girl that I've started a blanket for her. A ripple blanket had been on my mind for awhile, but I don't cope well with doing the same thing over and over again. I had remembered seeing a mixed stripe blanket on Pinterest. I didn't repin it at the time, but it obviously stuck with me. Eventually I found it, and some others, for inspiration and have begun.

This is the other one I found, by Little Woolie

Mine is different to these two. I'm going for more textures and less pattern, so trying to have more open bits, but sticking to straight lines...
I will post soon with some pictures of how it is going!
