The Great American Aran Afghan

[Cinnaminn]

I downloaded the spreadsheet, and it has saved me so much time. Thanks so much. My first square is Barbara McIntire's, and it is quite easy -- but looks so complicated. I am using charts for the very first time, and find it so much easier than the written words.

YW! I know I've found it very helpful/useful myself since I made it.

FYI - if you haven't done it yet, you may want to make sure to use lifelines while making the squares. I didn't know what they were until I joined Ravelry and found out about them. I'm using them in my current WIP square (Marian Tabler's Tipsy Cables) and they definitely have saved me some time/frustration when I've had to do some frogging to correct some mistakes I made in different rows.

HTH!
