Tunisian Crochet

This is probably my oldest UFO. At the time I began this afghan, these were the colors of my bedroom - that was some years ago. Something inside me wants to keep this and believe that I will finish it someday.

I am very intrigued by this type of crochet, called Tunisian or Afghan Stitch. You can read all about it here.

This is one of my UFOs. It will someday be a patriotic afghan using 63 different crochet stitches. You can find the book here.

My biggest challenge with this project?  Trying to make all of the squares the same size.
