I don't know about you, but the color of seafoam is so relaxing to me.  It brings to mind a  beautiful summer day on a sunny beach with waves foaming on the sand.  The smell of the fresh water and sound of waves and birds chirping....Ahhhh

Notes:

1. Beginning ch-2 does not count as a hdc
2. Photos showing stitch placement are referenced as P1, P2, P3 etc.
3. When changing colors, do so in the last step of the last stitch of the row before the color change
4. This afghan is set up as a stitch sampler style and sections can be worked in any order to create your own personal style.  If switching up the sections, be sure to start the color sections as noted for Right Side and Wrong sides for best results.  This means you may need to add an extra row of hdc in order to keep the colorwork on the correct side.
