I am using the following yarns for my Crozy Memories Blanket:
Yarnfair Stripes Double Knitting in colour way 'Red Grey Brown'
Sirdar Crofter DK in colour ways 'Thatcher' and 'Seagrass'
Joining the squares with Sirdar Snuggly in a brown colour way which I can't be sure of, but possibly 'Soft Brown' 428.
The anti-tilt Zipper join can be found via 2 ways;
1. By joining the Facebook Group 'Scheeples CAL - International', then searching for 'Margaret Evans tilt'. The first search result is Margaret's mini-tutorial on her 'Joining Tweak' which includes a lovely infographic.
OR
2. Clicking this link to my blog post where (with Margaret's permission) I have shared her guide: http://lorrainepughdesigns.blogspot.com.cy/2016/10/the-anti-tilt-zipper-join-by-margaret.html
