as mentioned, i signed up to Knit a Square for Grandmother Purl. having acquired yarn, courtesy of Kim and her amazing stash, i have since found myself completely unable to conceive of a pattern for an afghan square.

i have gone through my books and magazines and, short of actually buying 100 Afghan Squares to Knit: Patterns and Instructions for Mixing and Matching Afghan Squares for Blankets and Throws — which seems a bit overkill — i am coming up blank. aghghghg. and the deadline looms ever nearer every day. the ball of yarn is glaring at me (from its position on the chairside table with four rows knitted of the last pattern, which, contrary to advertisement, looks pretty much like stockinette, and thus was rejected once seen in action… maybe i’m doing something wrong but i swear all it said was k2, k2tbl, rep ad nauseum…). i’m getting desperate. i’m going to end up sending a boring stockinette square, i just know it. argh!
