Block Of The Month Kits

Afghan blocks in knitted and crocheted versions

    $8.00 per block kit

designed by Ava Lynne Green

Learn (or refresh) your skills in knitting or crocheting!   Each 14" block stresses a different stitch pattern or technique.   When put together, the blocks make an afghan approximately 44" x 56".

Each kit comes with a pattern with step by step instructions and Patons Canadiana, a 100% acrylic worsted weight yarn.    Choose your color pallete from the following:

• faded denim / white
• light sage / beige
• beige / light rosewood
• aran / dark beige
  

In each case the main color is listed first.   Some blocks will be done in only the main color.   Others will use both.  The price is the same whether one or two colors are used.
