This squared circles afghan started like this. Beautiful shades of color in lovely wooly circles. These lovely bright shades of color just made my week. I spent wasted spent  a lot of time just enjoying these colors. This was near Christmas time last year (as you can tell from the ornament topper that landed in the middle of this photo).
then I added the lovely borders in darker colors and squared the circle. They were curling up on the edges and seemed all different sizes and shapes.  So I blocked them and truly enjoyed the rich colors again. It was about this time that I thought about a cardigan or poncho crocheted out of these lovely colors.
I didn’t know what to do so I put them away for 5 months!
I guess the hatching time was just right as it turned into this beauty!
It is incredibly beautiful with all the colors of the rainbow in it. 
My favorite is the ruffled border. It is just perfect! the oatmeal wool granny bordering each square is just perfect. The squares are join as you go and the long color change yarn is wonderful to work with. Â This squared circle blanket is 90 % wool and 10% nylon which means that cleaning it will require dry cleaning or gentle hand washing. As you can see from the top photo the yarn is quite fuzzy and the fibers wanted to mat together. It was difficult to frog any of this blanket.
Talk to you later,
