So, I'm totally loving vintage afghans. I understand that lots of people (read: stylish people) don't care for afghans these days, but to me they are magic. I mean, they're handmade, for one thing. Somebody touched and manipulated every inch of yarn in each one. And because these blankets are so labor intensive, they are made with lots of love. Usually, it's a grandma making them for grandchildren, like the one on the right, which came from Shayne's grandma. The middle one is from DI and the one on the right I ordered from etsy.com, so I don't actually know any of the people who made these. The love with which they stitched these afghans wasn't directed at me, but it's still so comforting to snuggle up with something that contains so much affection.
