Welcome to The African Afghan. I am going to crochet an afghan with approximately 53 squares, each square representing one African country. I do not now how long it will take but I will photograph each square and the progress as they are completed. I will set  a personal goal of one year to complete it. When I am done I will auction the afghan off and hopefully donate some of the money to charity.

Here is a picture of the maps so that you get an idea of things to come.
