I really like the pattern in this afghan, and while I can't find all the colors, I'm sure I can come up with something similar. I really do like the pattern, but I'll be making it a bit larger. Thanks for giving the multiples!

I LOVE the colors on this pattern. However, I am having trouble finding the "Ranch Red-0352" yarn. Also, the "Warm Brown-0336" is hard to find (except on-line). Are these retired colors? Can you suggest an alternate color with will work instead?
