Here is a peak at my newest project. I've decided to make the Great American Aran Afghan, and I'm only three squares in. This project will probably take me a couple of years, but in the end I will end up with something heirloom-worthy. I hope.
The first square was fun. See the spider on the bottom right, crawling up to his web? I love tree/leaf/nature themes in knitting.

The second square was a pretty straight forward cable pattern. Not mindless, but no real surprises either.

The third square was, well, crazy. It was based on an "80s pattern" and I guess nobody knit in the '80s, because this pattern was all over the place.
I think I have about 17 more squares to go, then I have to block all the squares and sew the dang thing up. This is an epic project, but I'm excited to continue to share my progress.
(BTW-it is customary to refer to the Great American Aran Afghan as the GAAA, but one must include as many additional aaaaa's as possible. Ala-GAAAaaa. I'll add more and more aaaaa's with each square I complete.)
