I think I’m going to have to get a strong light to be able to finish this afghan. I just can’t make out the black stitches once I’ve made them. Maybe this is how people end up crocheting on their porches. The light’s better.
In related news, though, I do love this. I hope the connecting stitch looks as cool as I’m planning.

I got light-colored wood needles especially for the dark yarns. My socks are all crazy bright, but anything I’m going to *wear* ends up being dark and hard to see with 40-cough year old eyes.
Like sweaters. Obviously I wear socks. THIS is what comes of posting before all the coffee is in the body.
