Afghans, Not Just For Babies Anymore

This was a baby gift for one of my sons from a great grandmother.  She'd probably have a cow if she saw how her crocheted afghan was being used now.  But isn't it better that we use it and not just put it into a box that's forgotten in the attic?  Here's a closeup:


I love finding alternate uses for items, especially when they've been given to us by family.  It makes things so much more special.
