Blast from the Past

my first afghan 002j

Blast from the past! Remember the groovy earth tones from the 70’s? I was totally into all that. Had my crock pot in avocado. Had my electric skillet in harvest gold. And crocheted like the world was ending any day.

my first afghan 001

This far-out groovy afghan was the very first I made. Of course it was granny squares! I found it this week.
All the memories wrapped up in this yarn: bought on sale at the new Target store, probably 69 cents a skein.

It has weathered the years well. For cheap yarn and beginner crochet skills.

Well over 40 years of living has happened since this baby was created.  I think I’ve weather the years pretty well too.
