Here we have another endorsement of Grandma's African, this one from Socks, who was helping me sign pages this morning.

another endorsement of Grandma's African


...hmmmm Afghan?

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

Nope. African.

My grandmother was a Baltimorean and she spoke Baltimorese. Therefore, the thing that Socks is gracing with his presence was, indeed, an african, of which she crocheted many in her life. She also washed her dishes in a zinc, and sat her guests down for a spell on the teet.

(A "teet" is a sofa/couch, possibly a mispronunciation/smash-up of tete-a-tete, which was a kind of sofa/couch.)

Gotta love those 70's colors! I can almost feel the yarn.

Looks almost exactly like one I have from my Grandmother.

Socks appears to feel he has an unruly tail, which must be kept controlled firmly under the paw.

Actually, I think he's resting his paw after helping with signing. Supervision can be stressful, especially catching those stray glitters of this and that to keep them from interfering. But, you know what they say, "A paw's got to do what a paw's got to do."
