Bells Lake Afghan
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
6 sts + 8 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Moss st with 1 strand each of A and B held tog. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Bells Lake Afghan Reviewed by Barbara Ratliff on 2011-05-07
This is the first time that I've worked with needles this size and it took some getting used to. Worked with Thick & Quick once before and I love it. This afghan is so much fun to make and it's beautiful!! ... and it works up fast. This will be a Christmas gift for one of my daughters ... then I'll need to start on another for my other daughter. Maybe one for Mom, too.
