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 second of our sections is called 'Speckled Stripe Square' written by Valerie Bain. You can find the pattern here on this page, or you can download a printer friendly version here. Also be sure to check out Valerie's blog and Ravelry page for more patterns!
