I've been searching for an afghan pattern that takes advantage of Kureyon's long color runs. This block pattern is based on Barbara G. Walker's Short-Row Stripes square in her Learn to Knit Afghan book.
The original idea was to knit a square occasionally as I came across new colors of Kureyon, finishing the afghan in time to send it to college with my daughter, who is also a knitter and who loves Kureyon.
Unable to stop once I began, she instead received it for her 15th birthday. Version 2 [below] was begun so I could knit in her presence.
