Julie called them the “precious coin of knitterly love.”
Afghan squares. The go-to project for knitters when anyone, anywhere is in need. No Knitalong book would be complete without them.
And I hope you will knit one or two.
My Knitting Life wrote about sewing up such squares, "It is humbling to be in the presence of the handiwork of so many knitters." I know I will be awed and overwhelmed by your goodness and uniqueness if you do.Please see the knitalong.net/testalong main page for information, and to register if you're interested in squaring along.
It's for the book, and for charity, and for fun. I hope you'll join me. (Maybe you'll pay more attention to your square than I did. I hope you can't see my mistakes.)
Oooh, can't wait. Count me in! I am having so much fun with your test-alongs!

Me, too!!! Now I need to go buy some yarn for this. Everything in my stash is the wrong color (mostly blues). :) Sounds like fun and for a good cause, too. Nice combo!

I need to go get yarn too. I love the colors!

hmmm...I've got lots of choices right from my stash. It's going to be hard to choose!

I don't have the right colors...but I love these projects 'cause I'm learning new techniques. So I will knit a test square and hope it is good enough for the charity afghan. By the way can I contribute a skein of Knit Picks Shimmer in the Grape Hyacinth colorway and a skein of Cascade 220 in pink to the winners cache??

How can I resist when I'm being quoted? I'll get started tonight on my own little contribution. I love that you'll make such good use of the "leftover" squares!
