The Basket weave Square from the Barbara Walker book is a very interesting square and one of the most beautiful textures. I like Basket weave a lot and I find it to be very lovely in this cotton yarn. I am hreally enjoy this Square by Square excercise. I have made 3 Afghans in Crochet that hAve 63 different Squares each and I can tell you that the experience taught me a lot about how I crochet and about crochet and it's possibilities and potential. This Afghan shall do the same in Knitting, as it will take me through a journey of how I knit and how to play with texture, color and stitches. Thanks for stopping by!

I haven't had a look at her
I haven't had a look at her book yet, and I've seen a lot of the knitting books on the shelves at B & N, but with this afghan, are you pretty much choosing your own colours for this? That could be a lot of fun all by itself. Hmm...great job!
