I have decided to be brave and design my own Aran Afghan. I have purchased some Aran Wool from Patons, and am diving head first into this ambitious project, with the help of Aran Stitches from Harmony Guides. My first challenge was to design a panel. After trying out three different versions I have settled on a panel with two different kinds of braids and trinity stitch. The trinity stitch is interesting, as it gives me something to concentrate on on the wrong side rows, since the cable work is always done on the right side rows. Now I need to use up one ball of yarn and estimate how many balls I need for the entire afghan.
