WIP ~ My hubby's Christmas Gift

I am making my hubby an afghan with the logo from the Tampa Bay Bucs on it for him for Christmas. This is my most ambitious project yet. The graph is made up of 175 SC's per row with a total of 145 rows which means this will have over 25,000 SC's when it's done!!! After finishing the graph, I will SC around the ghan until I get it to the desired size. I bought some nice black fleece which I plan on sewing to the back of it. I am 58 rows into this monster of a project and wanted to share it with you. Please don't mind my messy craft room! What do ya think?

Fall Purses/Tote Swap Package

I got my swap package in the mail Saturday and I LOVE IT!!!!

My swap buddy made me the most awesome tote bag in fall colors and the lining has a fall theme to it! She also sent me some confort grips for hooks which I have been wanting forever! She also sent me some beautiful autumn towels and napkins! Thank you so much for everything!!!

Simply Soft Cardigan

After seeing this in the latest issue of Interweave Knits Crochet I just had to make it! Caron only posted a picture of this in the mag, but did end up putting the pattern on their site. I made this up in 2 days and love it! I decided not to do the sleeves as it doesn't get chilly enough down here for me to need to do that. I am going to make a couple more of these for Christmas presents! There were a ton of mistakes but I'm going to try and re-write the pattern and send it to Caron. Hopefully they will post the corrections. In the meantime, if you go over to the Ville, I have the mistakes posted in the thread for this CAL.
