A few years ago I was driving around running errands in my neighborhood when I saw a crocheted afghan (beautiful colors) being used as a boat cover!! I went and knocked on the door and told them how much I liked the afghan and that I would be interested in buying it ( I really wanted to rescue someone's loving work). Well he fixed my wagon and said he wanted $300 for it. I thanked him and walked away. I don't know whatever happened to it because it wasn't there much longer. Maybe they were afraid that I would steal it. Anyhow, I hope they didn't think I was the afghan police just that I felt so sorry for the poor throw being beaten by the sun and weather. You reminded me of that story. I guess someone here said it best, our joy is in the making and giving and we need to release the gift once we give it away.
