Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I just received a Mary Maxim Catalogue and have fallen in love with 2 afghans. The first one is called "Cat & Mouse Throw & Pillow" and the second one is called "Ba-Ba Black Sheep Blanket & Toy".

My question is, has anyone made these afghans and are they difficult? My crocheting skills are minimal, but I try.

Mary Maxim has always sold kits, however, I just wish they'd sell the patterns seperate, but I guess they don't make money that way!

This particular time of year there are good yarn sales to be had as businesses are close to inventory taking and making way for new stock.

The last time I invested in a kit from Mary Maxim, it was for a snowman hat and it was adorable.
