Thank you Betty (and Doris B. Rosby, and Doreen, and Eileen M, and...). I hold your work in the highest regard, and I will tend to it lovingly.
Love, Ellen

Afghan Rescue League
I have never made an afghan. The amount of toiling away would send me away. So it pains me to find these works of art cast off at thrift stores. (Yes. Works of art. Sun streaming in on a colorful blanket draped across the back of a squishy couch, warm coffee in your favorite hand thrown mug, a nip in the air, a magazine you've been resisting until you could devote at least thirty minutes. Feel it? Work of art.) And so I buy them, usually for about three dollars. And I love them.

...and I thought I was the only one who considered castoff fibers works of art! Great post, thanks for sharing!
I love that you do this! It's so nice to know that these handmade treasures are loved once again.
I love your blog and your sweater designs. And, I especially love that you collect and show off these works of art!
These are amazing. I particularly love number 4 from the top.
Amazingly inspiring photos!
I feel so lucky to have spent some time luxuriating in the museum of cast-off-afghans. They are the luckiest afghans in the world, each one more beautiful than the next, and displayed to their best advantage, clearly loved, and glowing with it!
