Afghan Rescue Mission

Texaskillet's Shop Announcement

An Afghan is a blanket, wrap, or shawl of colored wool, knitted or crocheted in geometric shapes. Of course Afghans are also dogs: The Afghan Hound is a sighthound with an aristocratic bearing. Tall and slender with a long, narrow, refined head, silky topknot and powerful jaws.

In terms of etymology, it is likely that the wraps or shawls that came to be called afghans were originally patterned after textiles from the Afghanistan region. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, afghan "wrap, shawl" dates from 1833.
