A break from sewing Teddy !!

 

i love colours !
i love bright colours !
i love rainbow colours !

and i always wanted a nice pleasing planked

so i ordered me some yarn … was a long process to find and choose something :)

and then i found me a shop on eBay selling just what i was looking for … cotton ! :) with a wonderful shine to it :D

i worked out what pattern i want …

and the size of the afghan when finished - combined with the amount of colours - 13 - gave me 13 rows by 12 columns … 156 squares
here is the first row, with all colours

then i was able to calculate how much yarn i would need for the finished piece, and ordered the rest (now i hope i didn't miss calculate *laughs* )
