Crazy for Eights Afghan Block (Charity Knit-a-Long)

So I just started knitting one day and came out with this. I have knit it three times now in an attempt to get it perfect. The first two were just the tiniest bit wonky and believe me when I say I don't want to pass wonky on to you. 

I might have just skipped writing this one up altogether since it gave me so much trouble, but I was seen knitting it at Knit Night and Monday Morning Knitters and there was an absolute clamor for this pattern. So I persevered. For you. Please, knit it in good health and when you come to the blanket sewing up party, don't laugh at my wonky blocks. Thank you. **
