Just finished this afghan and I am very happy with it! I only used the Oceania and Garden colors for the circles and alternated the two when I pieced together; and used Green, Eggplant and a turquoise for the solid colors. Very fun to make and easy to follow directions. I definitely agree with the other reviews - I went back to the store several times for more yarn and my gauge was fine. Other than that, the directions were very accurate. The Unique yarn was very fun to work with - each circle came out different and it was fun to watch them emerge.
