My first square

Now that I am done with the ripple afghan I decided to dive in and try my hand at making some of the blocks in my new book. I have two of these made already and today I sketched out an afghan that I am going to make using squares from the book.

I did have some difficulty following the pattern at first. I had to read it over several times and I actually started it over three times before getting it right.

My suggestions when you start a new pattern:

Make a copy of the instructions (so you don't have to have the book open the entire time)

Write out the instructions as you understand them

and finally,

make some kind of hash mark or checkmark beside the instructions for each row as you complete it so that you can keep your place!


If you are using this book I found a link to corrections here! You can also find a review of the book here!

Lily Chin!

Today is my birthday! My oldest son bought me this great book by Lily Chin. I have to admit that I am a little intimidated by the word Couture but I am willing to give it a try!

I just got this book as an early birthday present!
