Today's project (words can only describe ...)

Today my son and I are composing an afghan crochet project. I am being the chief crochet hook wielder and my son is being chief color consultant and style and texture coordinator.

I call it an 'afghan' in a very loose sense, for we do not yet know if it will become big enough to claim this title. Maybe it will end up being a scarf or a doily, or a rug or book cover or treasure map. The start of something bigger that remains smaller until some later time, defined by colors and shape rather than by size.
