Afghan In Brown Handspun
i spun it, i knitted it up in mistake stitch ribbing. and it's an afghan; a relatively normal-sized afghan.
it's got a bit of a hairshirt quality to it. itchy. plus, with my amateur spinning skills, there are thin places that i fear would be too brittle for the wear and tear of hardcore napping. i can easily picture a foot breaking right through the stitches! maybe i'm being overprotective, but i think this'll just live on the rocking chair like i originally planned.
there's something about the wobbliness of the stitches, due to the twist of the yarn, that reminds me of my grandfather's printing.
