I started my next afghan after koolaid dyeing lots of yarn in green, blue and purple. This time, I'm using two colors in each mitered square. I knit with the first color until there are 9 garter ridges and I am on the right side. I think this is when there are 14 stitches on each side. Then I switch to a second color. I love doing these squares and can envision many variations. I'm going to try and change just one thing at a time.
In the picture you can see that I have completed 2 squares in the first column and I have started the third square. I have to admit, the first column is not my favorite. I LOVE the ease of just picking up stitches that comes after this column is done. I took this photo late last week. This morning, I started on the second column!! YEAH it is all knitting nirvana from here on.

Thanks for the idea of 2 colors in one square. As I'm running out of enough color for an entire square, I'm using this idea to finish the square. I'll try to get some pictures up next week.
Oh, like my new picture????
