If you are making the scarf, you will need to work all 12 sections in a continuous strip. So you will cast on for section 1 and you will not cast off until the end of section 12. If you're making the afghan you will be making a total of 8 strips, each 6 weeks long. So you will need to work 4 strips of weeks 1-6 and 4 strips of weeks 7-12. Casting on at the beginning of week 1 and 7 and casting off at the end of week 6 and 12. So you will need stitch holders, especially if you don't want your needles tied up for 12 weeks.

The third of our sections is called 'Cable Square' written by Lori Adams. You can find the pattern here on this page, or you can download a printer friendly version here.

If you have any questions regarding the pattern or the KAL in general, please post to the facebook group as you will receive the quickest response time from there. Thank you for joining us this week, look forward to seeing your progress in our facebook group and in seeing you again next week!
