I totally forgot about October. I didn't do ANY tatting. Nope, none --- well, maybe some standing in lines. I crocheted most of October. The building engineer where I work came out to my dad's house and put up his new carport. It came in a box with a zillion parts. We helped, but he brought the know-how and the tools. Dad's old carport got blown upside down into the neighbor's backyard in a really bad windstorm (it was held down with a rail road rail -- not a wooden tie -- a steel rail!). That won't happen to the new one, unless it takes the driveway with it -- there are bolts about ten inches long and as big around as my thumb holding the thing down.
As a thank you, I crocheted an afghan for our engineer (who says he's always cold). This is my favorite full-size afghan pattern, it's easy to do and doesn't need fringe (which drives me nuts). It's made of worsted-weight polyester yarn so it can be tossed into the washer and the dryer.
For those who asked: This is "Lacy Chevron" from Leisure Arts Afghan Parade which is Leaflet 335. It's copyrighted 1984, so I don't know if it's still available.

That is gorgeous and I'm completely jealous of the engineer! :-/ (And of you for being able to create such a beautiful afghan!) If you ever need help with anything again, please, let me know so I can read up on the subject and get to work so I can be gifted with such a wonderful work of art!!! :-P

This is an attractive afghan in 'masculine' colors and pattern. Very nice work - and I also like that it doesn't need fringe.
That must have been scary when the other carport blew away! Sounds like this one is secure!
nice afghan Marty,
looks like a traditional zig-zag pattern, but your color change edges aren't smooth. what stitch did you use?
Very pretty! Love the blues! What pattern is it?
That's a lovely afghan. Can you share the pattern?
I have this 335 leaflet but not all the instructions fot the v-stitch shell. Could you Please post these ! Thank You.
Sorry, Cindy, I just can't post copyrighted material. Look over the leaflet again -- the instructions for the stitches are all there.
