So...I decided to try doing one square for the Lizard Ridge afghan. Lots of people I know are either making one or have finished one. It looks fun and the colors of the Noro Kureyon are so pretty. I did not have too much trouble knitting the square. I tried doing the short row turns and wraps as in the pattern, but did not like them much. I tried Lynn Anne's method (see May 1 entry) of doing short rows and liked it much better. They look better, too, in my opinion. The problem is the colors in the Kureyon that I chose. They just do not look good to me when knit up in a Lizard Ridge square. I've looked at lots of LR afghans on Ravelry and at my LYS. The squares all look so pretty. Mine just looks ugly. Sigh.
I don't know if I will keep on with this or not. I'll have to think about it for a while.

I love that one and I think that's the same colorway of one of my first squares. (Color 184?)
Blocking does transform it - and you might like it better afterward. That said, I experienced my own less-than-pretty (to me) square this weekend and I'm hoping that once it's included in the finished blanket, I'll be happier with it.
