I did the 24 tumbling blocks in a single col. Moorit - a brown, that with white marl and again with black marl) and was about to start the pairs in other contrasting pairs of marled yarn, so one would be the reverse of the other . But I like the concept of limiting the same three shades and have enough. <br /><br />I have done all the squares for the one you show in brown, just to sew them up, but am stuck on no 7 lace or bead heart in a Martin storey one. It just doesn't sit right. Any ideas? <br /><br />So then I can use all the other varieties on another Kal so i will have 4 linked afghans for my 4 adult kids, as heirlooms, less in my stash and a nice feeling inside.

I prefer your version by far to the original!! This palette makes a statement that's lost in the original concept where, to me, the contrast colors seem to be at war with the "background". When I saw the 2nd Afghan KAL for the first time, I found it hard to believe the color choices had been made by Kaffe Fassett.kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17022641374761961704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756650113719377578.post-67506040838145857922017-09-27T19:50:31.897-04:002017-09-27T19:50:31.897-04:00This is an amazing feat of knitting.
