My first blog

Welcome to my very first blog. I am blogging about one of my favorite subjects, knitting. I am starting this blog at just the right time. Me and two of my dear friends are about to embark on a knitting adventure. We are going to make an afghan, not just any afghan, but a special afghan. You will have to follow my blog to learn more as my fellow knitting buddies and I begin this dangerous and risky adventure, ok, maybe I am going a little overboard, and maybe not. Hope you enjoy !

Afghan color plan

Ahh, the color plan. This was a lot harder than you might think. First we had to plan which squares out of 25   we would knit.
Then we had to plan where we would place them on our afghan. Which was also harder than it sounds.
  I do not want cable patterns next to each other or all of the vertical designs right next to each other either.
Then we had to plan what color each pattern would be. We needed to factor in where that square is located and  what the colors next to it will be.  Will the yarn be to dark and not show the pattern off, will it look right as a lighter color, etc. etc etc.  Then there was the trick of not having the same colors too close to each other, which made me have to re arrange my squares yet a 3rd time.  But , Finally now I believe I have a completed plan. It only took me about a week, ha. 

If the planning of squares and colors is any indicator of how difficult this project will be, well I am in for quite a learning experience!
