Crochet Project: Chilly Office Throw

I completed this Christmas gift while we were on vacation a couple weeks ago. The Chilly-Office Throw is small enough to be kept in a desk drawer, but thick and very warm. The pattern is from the Sept/Oct 2010 issue of Crochet Today! magazine. I used an M hook and Red Heart Light & Lofty yarn in Wine, though the pattern called for Wine Country. The puff-stitch shells gave me fits at first, but I quickly got the hang of them. I hope the person who will be getting this Christmas gift will like it.
