I take a look at this sweet afghan and it makes me think of gramma in her rocking chair, cuddling up with this afghan on her lap. It is so sweet and vintage/old fashioned looking. What a wonderful gift to present to the young couple for their first new home! A gift like this one is sure to be remembered for many, many years to come.

Is there any way that your patterns can be downloaded in PDF method?
