Completed my fourth square today for the Blog Hop afghan. It was another pattern that began with a flower in the center and the rest of the square crocheted around it. Wildflower Granny Square #1 – this is the last pattern submitted for the crochet along by Rebecca from Little Monkeys Crochet blog.

The pattern itself was fun to do, though the color changes weren’t as smooth as I would have liked. I may have been better off doing a regular fasten off than trying the “invisible” color join. I’m also not entirely sold on the color choices I made for this square – it’s a bit pink to say the least. Maybe it’ll grow on me, but hopefully it will just blend in to the afghan when combined with the other squares.

I’ve purposely been avoiding the squares that have lots of color changes. I’ve quickly run out of those and my upcoming squares will vary more in color by row. The invisible color change technique will make those less painful to complete. I just need to figure out why the “old” color was bleeding in to the “new” color at the site of the color change.
