Progress on the Rowan Yarns Mystery Afghan has stalled a bit.....but with the addition of a new shade..... And a slightly modified layout plan..... But I should be back on track in time for the week 5 clue! Anyone else out there participating? How are you doing? You have to come as close to the stated gauge as possible. If you are close, usually judicious blocking does the final tweaking. But, if you are wildly off size, an adjustment in needle size will be required. Is your square way too wide....go down a needle size.....think of a block as a swatch. Are your squares a little too wide and not tall enough? Blocking can fix that! Wash your block, give it a little tug up...pin it down to a 20 cm square....pat down gently to tame any unruliness, let it dry...you will be amazed! Until next time, Happy Knitting! Anne Daisy says....This one is mine! (Yes, it is the new shade - 117 Raspberry that has been added to the mix!)
