Thank you! I like the popcorn border too - it uses an incredible amount of yarn but it's so soft and fluffy.

Really? I thought "afghan" was a pretty familiar term...but then I haven't been around much and you always think your own vernacular is used everywhere. An afghan is typically either lap-rug sized or twin-blanket sized, more or less a single-person wrap. It's often folded over chair arms or couches and used in a living space versus something to go on a bed.
