Flower power

Yesterday there was a big fair here in Ghent, organized by the Flemish recycling stores. Theme: retro 60s and 70s. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who had heard about this fair. By the time I arrived, people were already leaving with fabulous lamps. I’d told myself not to buy anything that I didn’t really need, but that’s quite hard to do when walking through rows and rows of cool retro stuff. One of the things I came across (apart from shoes, glasses and an old electronic projects kit) was this small granny square afghan.

I loved the flowers it had, so I couldn’t resist buying it.

Of course, that means that I now have this small afghan without a specific purpose. I think I’m going to make a cushion out of it. Once that’s finished, it will look great in my rocking chair.
