Not everything I knit is non-essential, though proportionally more projects are artistic than useful. Here's a post regarding something I've made that can actually be used. The attentive reader will quickly realize it doesn't have to fit a human form though. The afghan I got from Grandma Perry My paternal grandmother did something for her 9 grandchildren, she crocheted an afghan for each of us when we got married. Grandma made mine in 1975 which was a time of granny squares. Now over 35 years old it still looks great, even though the colour scheme is so 70's. We used it a lot when I lived in North Dakota, in fact I still use it. After the wedding two sons came along so this afghan has been washed more than a few time. Fast forward to late 2008 when my youngest son announced he was getting married the following July. Rather than take on potential grandchildren like Grandma Perry, I adapted her idea...
Getting it together one stitch at a time.
