Your afghans sound lovely and I'm very curious about the mystery item.

Hugs and happy stitching,

I find knitting and crocheting very relaxing but I've never gone to sleep doing it. I do occasionally doze off over a book in the afternoons if I'm feeling tired.

I'd love to see a photo of the inspirational afghan that got you into the project! Or did you post it early on?

I will get a picture of it today, and try to post it tomorrow.
