She's a Ten!



                                     We are down to the last two squares, me hearties!
               Pardon the Bo Derek-y title! Just really happy that we've gotten to this place!
I think these last two are the hardest, although you have already done the center square, which should at least have partially prepared you for these. Though changing the colors is a bit tedious, it's not really all that different from the Landscape squares,and, the increases are regular, and make a kind of sense, once you get going on them. As usual, there is a HELP to help you through.
The link to the pattern is here:

The Homespun version uses Blue Moon and Hepplewhite; the Vanna's Choice Version has one square done with White and Dusty Blue and the other done with White and Vanna's Complement Colonial blue- use what contrasting colors you want to!
Sometime this week, I will post a blocking and joining link, and also weather and Summer people permitting, a bunch of full frontals and styled shots of both these pieces.I hope that the skills in these colorwork squares have enhanced your crochet skills repertoire. I will be posting smaller projects using some of the techniques learned here next, as a bridge to the next CAL.  But first, let's finish this one!

Not a whirlpool exactly, but the stirred up waters behind the Cross Island Ferry on the way to New     London, Connecticut, from Orient Point, LI, NY.


Some music to stitch by:

a bit ghoulish, but still appropriate
