I bought a Colinette kit last fall with yummy mohair and ribbon yarns in it to make an afghan. I don't really like the pattern...but it was a cheap way to get the yarn since they were having a sell on it. I wonder if I try to make the stitches on the lacey side if I could adapt it to the miter or log cabin pattern. I have a feeling that log cabin would probably be easier, because the mohair wouldn't probably show the miter pattern as well.....what do you all think???? Thanks for your opinions ahead of time!
