21 of 30 done

which makes 9 octagons left to do, 16 squares and 18 triangles. This sounds like a LOT, but it shouldn’t take too long. Because I have so many of the octagons, I am tossing up whether I want to start joining them together now, or waiting until all the bits are finished. I’m liking the idea of getting the rows done before all the fiddly bits. But..what color do I sew them together with? Ah, the pattern says main color. That’s handy, coz that was about the color I was thinking of using.

If you wanted to do this using cheapish acrylic, these are the ‘recommended’ colors:

MC = Turquoise. Marvel 1008 or Thoroughbred 2009

A = Dark red. Thoroghbred 2010

B = Light grey. Marvel 1022

C = Curry. Marvel 1029

D = Dark green. Marvel 1020

E = Mist. Marvel 1039
So far I am up to starting the second ball of grey, making the total cost for THAT yarn, 7$. If the rest of the afghan uses two balls each, that makes this a 42$ blanket.
