8" Tapestry Cactus Afghan Square
"12 months, 12 squares, and lots of fun tapestry designs. The 2018 Tapestry Square Afghan Project is going to be a fun way to try out the technique and make a fun blanket by December. August’s square is a tribute to the hottest month of the year - a cactus! Because, only a cactus can live through this heat ;) This square is a simple 2 color square which you can dress up with some spikes or leave bare, either style creates a cute square you can use on anything from a table runner to a tote bag or an afghan by the end of the year."

The cactus has had its place in the year of 2018. I have seen loads of projects both crochet and projects that real or artificial cactus have been used. Even with succulents, I have a hard time keeping them alive. This tapestry cactus will be with me a long time as it needs no water at all.

I really like the extra attention to detail on the tapestry cactus afghan square. Making the needles really makes all the difference. That was a stoke of genius.
