it took forever, but i have one clue 3 square completed now. i had to do a lot of playing around because the size 8 needles i'd been using up until now were producing a square over an inch too large.

so, the first half was knit on size 5 needles in Bark, and the second half was on size 7 needles in Aqua Frost. even so, it looks like the first half is invading the second a bit. it just doesn't want to play nicely. but, at least the square finally measures out right.

So glad you found a way to make it work for you!

Your square looks beautiful!! I love the colors too! It's very rewarding when it finally works out the way you want it to, huh?

Oh my! Only 4 done so far. I was getting bored with the repetition of 8 exactly the same and reversed the colours used in first and second halves for half of the squares. I can turn them if needed so the right colour is in the right position for seaming. As long as I'm using the two colours required, I hope it will be all right!
I read where Shandeh said that the colors of the yarn you use is the main thing, not so much the pattern that is used. So you should be fine!
I have extra yarn so can work up more if needed. (do you think I'll feel like it by the end?)
I would definitely wait until the end to see if it's necessary. But I know I probably wouldn't feel like it. lol.
My first square was a little bigger. (the one on the top left) Wonder if I should redo or keep going..... This is my busiest week so far and dread having to rip!
How much bigger was the first one?
