I have not done a crochet project using this color. Maybe I want to try soon. Coffee, claret, terracotta, these colors are also exciting. I might just start using terracotta soon. I think coffee is too dark.

This looks like another great pattern that allows me to take it on the go and work on it even when I am away from home because it is done in smaller squares. The colors are great for Autumn and will be nice to have out next year. Blankets tossed over the back of a couch or chair add a comfy feeling to home decor.
