Ringing in 2012

Well, it's February already, but we have already started on this year's challenge, although we haven't been blogging about it. Last summer, we made an afghan for a retiring colleague, each of us making 16 granny squares and then working together to put it all together during numerous knitnics during a gorgeous Vaasa summer. The project was so fun that we decided to make three more during 2012 - one for each of us. This idea led us to the idea for our 2012 challenge. We've challenged ourselves to make 12 projects based on granny squares (and related crocheted modular units): grannies and friends.

Flikka's afghan is the first of the three, and here are the squares I made for her with the yarn she chose and provided. I can't wait for my turn!
