Assembling aghan by hand sewing it together

Method 2

Assembling aghan by hand sewing it together

Working with the right side of the squares up on a table,
place the two squares together. With yarn needle, take up
both top and bottom loops from the bottom edge of each square,
and whipstitch them together. Repeat across square, add
two more squares, whipstitching these together, till you
have the afghan, the number of squares that you want it wide.

Go back and whipstitch the sides of each square together.
You now have completed two rows of your afghan.

Keep adding squares and whipstitching them together, until
you have added all your squares.

Identity Crisis

Identity Crisis by Laura Scott

This book is so good I stayed up late last night to finish it. Then started the second book, and yes there are that good. It's a two part series, first with one twin and the second book with the other.
Lots of action, loads of suspense, really great characters. Loved it, great read.
