Favorite Thing Saturday

My grandmother's afgan. This was made by grandmother Julia,
 my father's mother.
It is 100% wool. Many years ago my mother threw it in the washer
which kind of felted it.
But I love it anyway.
Every Christmas I drape it over the back of my sofa for the holidays
and remember grandma.
Love, Linda

    Hi Linda, my favorite aunt was Aunt Julia, and she not only made me a beautiful afghan, but also taught me to crochet. Don't you love afghans for snuggling under? Linda

    Its surely nice to have the afghan from your Grandma. I felted one by mistake that my Mom made me. Life's lessons.

    Thanks for stopping by and nice comment. I don't get trick or treaters either, but sprung for some treats anyway. :D I need to put them away - eating to many.
    Have a great week.

    Oh, Linda, that afghan is so lovely. And perfect colors for Christmas. I think the felting makes it all the prettier. Such a wonderful treasure to have as a memory of your grandmother's handiwork.
