My BAWJ2019 is coming along nicely! I have 13 squares completed now, all in different colour combinations. What do you think of my e-afghan?
This is going to be a bit of a long post because I have FOUR squares to show you!

WEEK 9 – QUATREFOIL ROSETTE by LISA MAUSER
Pattern: https://thislittlehookofmine.blogspot.com/2019/03/quatrefoil-rosette.html
Yarn colours: Teal, Cream, Indigo, Storm, Sage, Old Gold, Graphite
This square was well written and worked up very nicely. It was interesting to use so many colours – the other squares so far have a maximum of 4-5 colours.
The texture is lovely! And even the back is nice.
WEEK 10 – ROSEBUD FLOWER SQUARE by CHERYL DEE CROCHET
Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rosebud-flower-square
Yarn colours: Graphite, Cherry, Raspberry, Cream, Rose, Iron
I particularly liked how this square took into account the twist from hdc rows by changing direction each row – the backs of the hdc stitches provide a different texture, and the square stayed very straight!
I’m not sure how much I love the little extra rosebud, but it’s nice to learn new techniques.
It’s easier to see on the back how the alternating hdc rows keep the square nice and straight:
WEEK 11 – MISTLEY by JACQUI GOULBOURN
Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mistley-square
Yarn colours: Heather, Olive, Coral and Copper
Another well written square! It’s so nice when a pattern just slides off the hook without much thought or consideration!
I wish the centre circle was a bit more… circular, but maybe blocking will assist with that, if I can be bothered.
WEEK 12 – LITHA by KRIS KELLN
Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/litha-2
Yarn colours: Silver, Lupin, Violet, Graphite
Talk about a well-written pattern! I think this is my favourite square so far – interesting stitches, not overly complicated but extremely easy to follow. If only all patterns were like this!
Again, I wish the centre diamond was, well, centred, but maybe the little twist is a design feature not a bug 😛
Phew, I’m up to date (and up to date on here) – bring on the next 36 weeks!
