These are the perfect spring blankets - beautiful, lightweight, and full of vintage charm. We like to pair afghans with modern furniture to warm up a contemporary space while toning down the stereotypical grandma style associated with crochet. Etsy is full of great hand-crocheted afghans at reasonable prices...
Ahh! My grandmother knitted me an afghan for my high school graduation. I have it on my modern bed and LOVE LOVE LOVE the contrast. Probably the favorite part of my home.
I also find that it makes a modern space look just a little less "linear" and "harsh."

I remember one challenge on "Top Design" where a contestant put one in her room for the Garage Sale challenge...
...she was eliminated for it.

Ew, no. The yellow and gray one is alright, but the rest make me think of polyester baby blankets.

I really need to finish the afghan I'm making for my boyfriend. He's been waiting patiently for three years.....
