Bernat's Mystery Afghan Crochet-Along

Bernat announced a mystery afghan crochet-along at the end of August, and my friend Cathy asked my opinion about it. Well, it sounded like a lot of fun, so instead of just telling her to go for it, I decided that I'd join in the fun too!

Here are the colors I chose: soft taupe and pumpkin will be the main contrast colors with 7 and 6 skeins of each. Bronze, dark mauve (really plum), and grass will be the alternate contrast colors, with 2 skeins of each.
