Hello,
March 28th was Alaska Choose Respect Day. Colors represent :Teal for domestic violence, Purple for sexual assault, and Royal Blue for child abuse awareness.
The gold pan is 200 inches wide/16.6 ft tall. The blanket finished at 220 inches round :)
Thought you would enjoy the before and after of America's Largest Gold Pan from Nome, AK using your pattern to yarn bomb it!
Thanks!

SmoothFox Peppermint Mocha
This square is my submission as the February square in the Designers Showcase Sampler sponsored by Melinda Miller.
Melinda Miller from MoCrochet and Melinda Miller Designs on Ravelry is hosting a unique CAL for 2013. This year we will crochet a Designer Showcase Sampler. It will be comprised of twelve – 12” afghan blocks that are designed by various designers. Each month a mystery Designer will be revealed and you will get to know her and her designs. At the end of the year, you will have enough blocks to make your very own Designer Showcase Afghan to keep for yourself or to give away.
I have also included a video link in the pattern to help those unfamiliar with some of the techniques early in the pattern. After creating this video I realized that the square needed an additional round inserted before the final two rounds to make the square 12x12 so you can only follow the video up to round 8. Then you must refer to the pattern for the completed square. However the techniques at the end of the video still match up with the techniques used in the pattern. The important rounds that are in the video are the early rounds.

Repeat
rows 2 and 3 until your scarf is the desired length. Always end after a row 3

Attach
the peace signs:
Lay out your scarf with the right side facing. Arrange the peace signs in an attractive
pattern. Set peace signs aside in the
order you want to sew them on.
Once you know your arrangement of your peace signs
that you find attractive, using small needle and thread, attach your peace
signs to the scarf.
Remember
that you will place half the peace signs on each side of the scarf so be sure
to arrange them facing one direction on the left side of the scarf and reverse
them on the right side of the scarf so they face the normal way and are not
upside down on the second side of the scarf.
