Granny Square a Week-Week Fourteen

This week's square is a little quirky. It is the Radioactive Warning Symbol! I made this for my sweetie: it reminded me of his most favorite video game, Fallout. But it is named after Madame Curie, which is fantastic in itself (although sad, knowing her fate from working with radioactive materials)

Madame Curie Radioactive Afghan Block By Margaret MacInnis and Rebecca Bisbing

Another Ravelry download. Again, well worth a membership! So much valuable information on that site.

It says it is not as easy as it looks but I have not found this to be true. As long as you follow the pattern carefully-especially carrying the secondary color yarn along with your stitches- it works up easily and you will be able to warn others of your radioactivity in no time ;)

I changed only one thing: the full pattern is for a 9 inch block, but I worked it up only until Round 7 which gave me a (roughly) 7 inch block.

This was done with Caron's Simply Soft in Sage and Vanna's Choice in Goldfish

This is what the back should look like if you carried the yarn correctly. You should not see any long strands or strings hanging and you should only have 4 loose ends to tie in.

Until Next Week!
