Sudoku Lap Throw

I wanted to share something that came up in discussion a couple of weekends
ago when knitting with some friends. One person had seen an afghan/lap
throw done in the manner of a Sudoku puzzle. There were nine colors with a
number (1-9) assigned to each color. You take a solved Sudoku puzzle and
arrange the knitted or crocheted squares of colors according to where the
numbers fall.

There was a lot of discussion of putting black or dark borders around each
square or not or just putting the border around the outside or doing both.

Years ago i knitted a sweater with 9 colors i made it in a Log cabin
pattern , mooving the numbers +1 up in each square ,, but i knitted it
in one go =2 squares are on each half part of the sweater ,,, [ 2 on
front 2 on back i Drew a pattern and calculated the sizes so that 1
square will cover 1/4 of my circumference ,,, i started each inside
with an other color and than followed the surrounding `strips` by
numbers ,,,, at times i knitted 6 colors in one row ,,,, was sun still
looks great.

BonnieBlue,

The latest Knit1 magazine for Fall or Winter (brunette with long hair
and a cream colored giant cable sleeveless sweater on the cover) has
it.

I believe it has borders around the 9 patches and overall, but not the
individual squares.

I love that idea, I'm a sodoku addict! I might just put an unsolved
puzzle together, knit up some # washcloths and leave it out. It would
be a great idea for a guest bedroom!
