January “Filler” Square

I finished a second crochet square for my 2009 CAL afghan.  This one is called “Dream Catcher“ which was the January 2008 block.  I used the recommended “I” hook, and it came out to EXACTLY 12″!!!!  Good for me!

Anyway, I had a few minor problems with this block.  There was a dc/1-ch combo that isn’t hard to do at all, I just couldn’t remember to throw in that 1-ch!  So, I had to fudge around the borders in a couple of spaces.

I’ve started on a second square, this time in green.  Because the green yarn feels thinner than the off-white shown above, I moved on up to a “J” hook to compensate for the size difference, and I’m trying very, very hard to loosen up, and not make my stitches so tight.
