Afghans have been in my family for years as well. Every now and again I find a new interesting pattern that I give my Baba (grandma) to try out! I have yet to learn myself, but I hope to someday. I linked to Bridge and Beyond in my "B" post! I hope it gets you some more traffic.

It's not something I've ever knitted and we suggest store bought vs homemade for the homeless because they really don't have the ability to wash often and therefore once they're in bad shape, they pretty much need a new pair. Learning to knit them is on my list of things to learn..........someday. Thanks for the visit ZannieSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.com
