I think I may have a problem...


What do you know? 
I somehow found another crocheted blanket this week.
$5.00.
FIVE DOLLARS, PEOPLE!

Really, they're just so pretty...I can't contain myself.
And, each new one I find seems to be prettier than the last.
Ugh. 

I definitely have a problem.


(P.S. there's six more in the house that aren't shown here...)

    My newborn daughter has two handmade afghans and I find myself matching her outfits to the blankets when we go places! Now that's a problem! :)

    They're gorgeous! I totally get it. I don't blame you...I have one from 1984 that I cannot live without. I need to learn to make these myself!

    Sarah @ Life - is that really a problem? I coordinated all my kids blankies to their clothing....I guess if you don't realize it's a problem, then, it's not?

    Ahhhhh! I LOVE crocheted blankets! I inherited tons of them as well as quilts when my grandmother passed so my house is covered in them!! Such cozy beautiful reminders! Your collection looks beautiful by the way!!!

    I still have the one my aunt made for me when I was 12. No problem.

    I have a lot of afghans too. So many, that they sit in my closet collecting dust. I just don't know what to do with them all.

    I've been buying lots of vintage afghans, at garage sales, in the last two years-- $1, $2, maybe $5--it's crazy!

    Because I've always gotten them from the thrift store, I've never held back with cleaning them. I immediately put them in the wash on delicate cycle...hot water. I even put them in the dryer...low heat. Some people would NEVER do that, but since they only cost me $4-$5, I don't take any chances...and well, I've never once had any problems when I've done it! Hope that helps!
