\"\"<\/a>I’ve done several projects from San Francisco Stitch Co.<\/a>, and this is yet another one. I have no idea when this series will end or how often the new blocks will be available, but there have been three so far. The tiny size (2″ x 2″) is free for the first week it’s available, and the “big” blocks (4″ x 4″) are very reasonably priced. I decided to make both sizes and finished the last — so far — of the smaller ones yesterday. I substitute threads that look sort of like the ones suggested and that I already have, but that substituting is a bit confusing, so I’ve set aside the colors I’ve used so far in an attempt to avoid having to figure these out again.
