This afghan was born out of my love for quilting and knitting. Each of the blocks is made by knitting several individual pieces and seaming them together to form a 12-inch square. The squares are then seamed together to form a 36-inch afghan. 5 buttons adorn the middle square.
The afghan will be donated to the International Fiber Collaborative (http://www.internationalfibercollaborative.com/).
Stats:
Pattern: My Own Design; The free pattern for each block is listed on my blog: www.KnittedGems.com.
Yarn: Lion Brand Wool
Tools: Size 5 knitting needles and 5 buttons

Thank you, GloriousHats! It's funny to think that it all started from a Christmas present two years ago. My friend gave me a basket of Lion Brand Wool, each a different color. At first, I hadn't a clue what to do with it. Then, my quilting book inspired me and I was off.

Thank you, Vicki! You are right about the patience; it took a long time. I even threw it into hibernation for a few months to revive my energy. Yet, I had a blast designing each block and it was a joy to watch it come together. Thanks again!
