Creative Crochet

I was cruisin' the blogs the other day and found this site. I was taken with the "Simple Times" Afghan, from the "Rose Cottage Afghans" pamphlet, Leisure Arts that SnapDragons crocheted. I think that this pattern mimics the look of a knitted cable, but it's not as bulky as a crocheted cable and it's not even a cable, it's a series of single, half-double and double crochet stitches! Amazing!

SnapDragons' Inspirational Afghan & Quilt

I immediately ordered the book and swatched a piece of this pattern, using Red Heart Soft Yarn in lime green and a size "H" hook. I'm thinking this would make a fabulous pattern for a cardigan!
