from the blur of her crochet hook, mum's squares for the vivid dreams throw emerge on a daily basis. even on her bad days she makes at least one or two, striping with delicious bright colours and different combinations each time.

i love the bright saturated colours you can get in the acrylic yarn, they positively glow. i'm also really in awe of how perfect and flat mum makes her squares. i've got quite a way to go, both in technique and in the amount of squares i need to do to catch up.

the beauty of this pattern is that you have to make all the squares first before you sew them together. in the meantime, you can play with arrangements and muse about the finished afghan and how it will look. i can't wait!

Wow, awesome colours Mum! This is starting to look very much like a Kaffe Fassett design! I don't know how you get your squares flat either! Mine just curl up at the edges.
