Here are some pictures of my in-progress Lizard Ridge squares. The knitting is fairly easy. The most complicated technique thus far is wrapping and turning, which creates the ripple and gives the squares their characteristic egg-crate appearance.
The kureyon is interesting to work with…..I keep finding all sorts of grass and little bits of stuff in the yarn. Additionally, it is also spun rather unevenly, ranging from barely twisted to so tight that it its barely the diameter of a thread. That makes it a little challenging, but so far it has worked out fine.
Each square is approximately 3/4 ball of Noro Kureyon. Since there is quite a bit leftover after each square…..So I have been using the leftover yarn to make my own colorways. The colors are a little more shocking, but sprinkled throughout the afghan they should look pretty good.

Hey Sis,
I think I like this afghan. Maybe even better than the one you just finished…hmm..can I have this one when it’s done?
I like the bright colors.

Hey you,
No you may not have this one when its done…..But I might make you one of your own if you want…..They are pricey enough that if the yarn is aquired a ball or two at a time its not nearly as painful.
Or I could even teach you how to make your own
I love the bright colors too

That’s a great way to save money (combining the remaining yarn from completed squares to make new squares). Your afghan is going to be soooo gorgeous! I’ll be in Seattle all this week, so if you want a certain color number, hollah at me!
