WIP Pics!

So, I brought my new bag to work (to show my co-worker my projects) and went a little crazy with the picture taking...

First off....introducing my New Bag!

Look at what it can fit inside:

I laid it out so I can get a good eye for how big it will be and see exactly how many I need to make. I'm going to use a cream color (like the cream in the plaid afghan) as an accent and to fill in the spaces in between the granny squares (which are about 3.5 inches square). I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to do that yet, but I'll figure out something. If I don't figure out something fancyschmancy, I'll just put one more row of granny square stitches and then sew them all together and make a border. Maybe I'll do a picot border...I don't think I've ever done that before.

Anywhoo...the last picture is of the infamous afghan!

I can't believe how far I've gotten on it already! I might actually be able to give this as a Christmas gift to my parents! There are 9 cream stripes in the pattern and I'm just about to start stripe 6!

By the way, I made a few copies of the pattern to bring to Knit Group on Thursday since someone asked me last week, and who knows if someone else will want it too!
