And Now for Afghan #3


Here is the afghan! I am using the 45 stitch basic mitered square, but I added a textured pattern to the end 12 stitches and the first half of the rows. I rather like this variation. It gives the look of four squares in the mitered square.

Koolaid Dyed Brown Yarn



I had a very happy Christmas Eve day dyeing this yarn! We had a big snowstorm and stayed home, so Koolaid dyeing was a wonderful way to spend the day. Along with putting up our Christmas tree and decorations.


My sister Heidi gave me this wool at Thanksgiving. This is the light tan color that I started with. You can see the original color in the center of the photo. I started my afghan with this yarn and soon decided that I needed more, so I dyed the medium brown.
