Kristina and Owens's Wedding Gift

This afghan was just finished as a wedding gift for Kristina and Owen. They requested a machine wash and dry chocolate yarn. I've done this in Red Heart washable. I adapted a pattern that I found in a booklet. I'll post the pattern when I have a chance to type it out.

Knitting & Taxes

*As income tax time was just here, did you ever notice: When you put the two words 'The' and 'IRS' together, it spells 'THEIRS'?

I vote that instead of giving money to pay taxes that we pay for yarn!

Yay! I vote YES!
