The  +RowanYarns  Pure Wool Worsted Mystery Afghan has absorbed all of my knitting time since it started, what, 9 weeks ago!  It can't be! Yes it can!!!

Do you have a favourite block? or one that you truly didn't like?  Did you stick with the patterns as written, or did you go off on your own?

Rumour has it that there is ANOTHER FREE PATTERN to be released!  - any guesses who? #RowanYarns, #Free, #Download, #DionneWarwick
