Work in progress: January

Here is the first strip of my first afghan of the year.

(Maggie ripped it down a split-second after I took the picture...)

It's actually closer to completion than it looks, just that I need to finish all four colors at the same time to assemble. It's going to be four by four squares in the end. Here is a super-crappy MS Paint schematic I set up for myself:

Just terrible. Whatever. It helped me figure out what color to put where. I've finished four green, four blue, two grey (need more yarn!) and one brown square so far, so I have 5 squares left to make. Then it's all assembly and border. I finally taught myself to do invisible joins, rather than slip-stitching things together, so it should come out quite nice. After that I am planning to do a simple border in a soft black. I'll post a finished shot when I'm done!
