Well, I was trying to create each square of the afghan in order of when they were released. The first one was relatively easy to complete and I was looking forward to the second, Aztec Stripes Square. I have started, unraveled and started again the square several times and there is something I’m not quite getting. The pattern seems so straight-forward I’m not sure what I am missing. Nevertheless, I went head and decided to skip to a different day – The Wildflower Granny Square No. 2 from day 17.

This pattern was a lot of fun to put together. The flower in the center is crocheted first, and the granny square itself is crocheted outwards from the back loops of the flower. This was my first time crocheting a flower. Not as complex as I expected. There are other floral-related granny squares in the CAL and they will hopefully be equally fun.
