My mother used to be pretty good with her needles.

I’m not sure if she knitted or crocheted these afghans for me.

Every couple of years she’d give me another one.

I know she made they them for practically everyone in the extended family because in the days when we’d still get together once in a while the cousins would mention them to me.

And they seemingly last forever.

I have know idea how long I’ve had most of these. Certainly well over 20 years for some of them.
