The weather in Greenville turned a bit chilly yesterday with lows in the low 50s, and just in time for our first little cold snip was a homemade, super duper soft blanket for Ben to snuggle up in from Leah. She made is especially for Ben.
Now, I would call this blanket an afghan because that is what my Mamaw and Aunt called similiar blankets they made. And according to Wikipedia, "An Afghan is a blanket, wrap, or shawl of colored wool, knitted or crocheted in geometric shapes." My question to you, does anyone use the word afghan anymore to refer to a blanket, or does it solely conjure pictures of Islamic terrorist in your mind?
Regardless, Ben loves the blanket and is currently snoozing under it beside of me while I post this update.
Thanks Leah for the great afghan!
