Red Square
OK, it's not exactly square but my bias garter stitch square is a landmark anyhow: it's the first thing I ever started and finished in one sitting. I can't claim that it's in one day, as midnight did pass in there, but it was less than 5 hours total, which I'm rather proud of.
I guess i just need my gauge to stay a tad more consistent so the next one could be a bit more really square. But chalk up one more afghan square, Ann & Kay!
(Technical details in case you care: knit on US8 straight needles with Filatura di Crosa's Primo, an aran weight superwash wool in bright red. And I think you all know what I mean by bias garter stitch, but if you want me to elaborate, just holler.)

I read that Afghan women are dressing in the most sparkly, colorful clothes imaginable, now that they have shed their burqas. So bright red is totally of the moment in Kabul.
Thank ye!
