The Great American Afghan Project

Marji and I decided to do our own little "knit-along" so we're doing The Great American Afghan, a sampler type blanket with 25 blocks, each in its own pattern. Our plan is for each of us to knit one block per month, and in two years, we'll each have a complete afghan!


Here are the colors I have selected in a bamboo/wool blend... I'm going with an analogous color scheme using shades of blues and greens. It feels so soft!


And here's a pic of Marji's wonderful Peruvian Highland wool. It's also feels pretty soft, especially for being 100% wool.  

She's got a swift and ballwinder - good thing since her wool came in hanks. 
The girls having fun with Halloween eyes!
So... October is block one!
