This was probably the most interested in math I ever was or will ever be again in my life.
Today's video brought to you by my first square in the Rainbow Connections swap on Ravelry.
After a few tries I was happy with the result. A purple single crochet border really rounded things off and made it neat.
I'm not a big fan of my color sequence, however. I didn't really think it through before going for it and also, since this is my first square, I wasn't sure how the colors would look together. The yellow really stands out. In future squares I'm going to try and use this to my advantage, as I fear it could be a distraction.
Next square is an entrelac square. I used my garter stitch gauge as a jumping off point for how many stitches to cast on, but seeing how garter is completely different from stockinette and how entrelac itself is just plain weird, I have no idea what the actual gauge will be. I guess we'll find out! :-)

it's so beautiful! and 70s! You put me to shame, Ms. Cardoza--I haven't knit anything since christmas. Might as well admit it--I'm a seasonal knitter.
What's the Rainbow connection thing?
I wrote about it in my previous post, but basically, it's a swap on Ravelry where you have 12 people and everyone makes 12 afghan squares and sends one to each member in the group-- you then sew together your 12 squares and have an afghan-- tada!
