So, you want to try something a bit more "challenging". You've seen all those afghan's with the beautiful designs and you thought you would like to try it but are a bit nervous? Well look no more. Your dreams can come true! In this class we will work on creating three (or more) squares that you can duplicate and make your own unique afghan.
