Want to know what happens when you leave a pile of knitting in front of a west-facing window for 18 months?

\nThose are four of the six squares I’ve made so far for my Aran afghan<\/a>. Luckily, just the one square (of course it would be my favorite) got bleached by the sun. I’m trying to decide how bad it is – it’s actually a bit more obvious in real life than the picture. Is it worth re-knitting the square – assuming I have enough extra yarn? Should I knit a number of the remaining squares in a different color and make a checkered afghan so the cream squares aren’t next to each other? Should I just leave it and put the whole finished blanket in front of a window for a few months? Should I try dyeing it?<\/p>\n

I suppose for now I’ll just ignore the problem, knit another square or two, and then decide…that will only be, what, another year or so?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
