I wanted something big and dramatic to send to TNNA. I had just purchased Patricia Werners' "Dazzling Knits" and had to try it out. I had never made a mitered square before so I thought that by the time I finished something really big I should have it down pretty good. I used twelve colors using Blue Heron Beaded Wool, Beaded Wool Metallic, Softwist Wool and Silk/Merino yarns. It was great fun and took me about a month to complete. I used the basic square from her book.
