Now remember we can include the times it traveled through time. What is your favorite time when you saw it. Do you know how it traveled from place to place?
I like the time we saw it when [spoiler]Barnabas came to see Julia after she survived the Vampire Tom.[/spoiler]

This is the other afghan, right? It had bigger squares than the afghan that was on the sofa in the Evans Cottage. I never think of it as gold and red; I see brown and yellow. Is there really some red in it? I'll have to look more closely next time I see it.
It was in Angelique's attic room in 1795. She was good with yarn (we saw that in 1897), so perhaps she made this afghan.
After Joe
[spoiler]attempted suicide[/spoiler]
and was recovering in Josette's bed, this afghan rested on his bare chest. Fans who envied this afghan, please raise your hands!
Does anybody remember seeing it in a location other than the Old House?

I consider it crucially important right now to get my afghans straight. Really, I do, I swear. Of the various afghans in my head, I picture one of them as sort of brown and light green or brown and yellow, something fairly unappetizing. Am I wrong? The other is black with brightly and differently colored squares on it, in a grid. Maybe that thing isn't an "afghan". Some etymology please. I guess I should Google "afghan".
-
I recall seeing it on the bed at the Inn where Josette and Jermiah were staying after they eloped.
-
Really? I thought the one in the inn where Josette and Jeremiah stayed was the ubiquitous multicolored one.

Maybe it is the tent of the colors that I put on my computer. Maybe we should call them multi colored and two colored.

I saw this afghan today in episode 649, spread out on Chris's bed in his attic room at the Collinsport Inn. I trust he'll put in a safe place before his next transformation.
We didn't get a close-up of the afghan, but it seemed to me that there was a red outline of a square in each of the knitted or crocheted squares. It may be that when that red outline is seen in a different light, it looks brown.
It seemed quite appropriate for that afghan to be in that room, since the same set was used for Angelique's attic room, and she had the same afghan.

Yes, please elaborate. There's an afghan that time travelled to Beth's room in 1897, and it sounds more like this one than the one from the Evans Cottage.

I believe that this capture shows the afghan we're talking about:

I was surprised to see this afghan in the Evans Cottage in episode 146, when Sam is resting on the sofa. In later episodes we see only the primary afghan, a.k.a. the multicolored afghan, in the Evans Cottage. The episode is in black and white, so I thought perhaps I was mistaken, but the squares seemed to be definitely the size of the gold afghan, and they seemed to be all the same. If mscbryk decides to watch the Laura storyline, he might be so kind as to doublecheck this vital detail for me.
-
Around about episode 156 there's an afghan in Liz's bedroom, folded and placed over the back of a chair. It looks like the gold afghan to me, but again I'm not entirely sure because the episode is in black and white.
-
There's an afghan that time travelled to Beth's room in 1897
I noticed that in episode 714.
Also, this afghan in Laura's cottage, a.k.a. the caretaker's cottage, in 1967. This afghan pops up all over the place in the Laura storyline!
-
This afghan is in Rachel's room at the Worthington Hall replacement in episode 773. When you start looking for this one, it's all over the place. Sometime (after I retire) I'll count up the number of times it appears and the number of times the primary (black-bordered, multicolored) afghan appears, and compare.
-
It's in episode 776 on Judith's bed.
-
I noticed this afghan on Beth's bed in episode 803, which is odd, I have a note to myself (squirreled away for that great and glorious day when I or somebody else starts a Prop Project topic on the primary afghan) saying that in episode 765 the multicolored afghan, a.k.a. the black-bordered afghan, a.k.a. the primary afghan, was on Beth's bed.
-
Another odd primary/secondary switching: in episode 810, the black-bordered afghan was wrapped around the bottom of Lenore's cradle, and in episode 811, in Quentin's dream, this afghan was wrapped around the bottom of that cradle. This suggests that everything was tidied away for the night after 810, even though everybody knew that the same cradle would be used for 811, and then in the morning for 811 the set dresser didn't check to see which afghan had been used the day before. Either that, or the choice was deliberate, to emphasize that this was a dream and not real life. Dan Curtis directed 811, and I doubt that he would make that choice - but I may be misjudging him.
-
I've opened a Prop Project topic for the other afghan:
Prop Project: The Black-Bordered, Multicolored Afghan.

I think it is a shame that The Afghan has not been a guest at any of the festivals. I'm sure there would be plenty of stories to share. [santa_shocked]

I didn't know it was still alive.

I didn't know it was still alive.
It is. It is with family and blanketed with support and love.

The secondary afghan covered Michael in episode 927.
-
This afghan appeared in Professor Stokes's living room in episode 931, first folded up on a table, and then draped over Paul Stoddard.
-
This afghan appeared in the Collinwood drawing room in episode 963, first folded over the sofa (or something; I can't remember), and then draped over Megan. In close-up, the parts that usually appear to me to be dark brown looked strikingly red, and the the parts that usually appear to me to be paler brown looked gold with a hint of green.
-
This afghan appears in episode 968, in a vision, draped over the subject of the vision. Or anyway, over one of the subjects of the vision.
-
This afghan appears in episode 980, folded over the back of the sofa in the drawing room at Collinwood, and later on (no surprise) it's unfolded and draped over Carolyn, who is sleeping on the sofa.
Has anybody ever counted the number of squares in either this afghan or the other one? It should be pretty easy to do with this one, since the squares are so big, but it never occurred to me before today that counting the squares would be an excellent use of my time.

Well this clues us into Stokes a bit. .wasn't this afghan also over Julia at the Old House after Tom Jennings had his way with her multiple times. Maybe Stokes took it as a Julia-memento. ::smirk:: [ghost_embarrassed]

It's draped over PT Sabrina in episode 990.
-
This afghan was seen in the same room with the black-bordered, multicolored afghan in episode 997. Oddly enough, the room did not explode.
-
It is over the lap of Gabriel in 1840. So it had an easy right. I think they picked it because it matched with the chair.

But you canna break the laws of physics!
-
The secondary afghan was folded over the back of the sofa in the parallel time drawing room at Collinwood in episode 1016, and later draped over the latest incapacitated person. There was a limited amount of continued draping in 1017. I thought the afghan looked very nice with the parallel time sofa.
-
This afghan was tucked around somebody else on the sofa in the Collinwood drawing room in episode 1035. Since we see it folded over the back of the sofa only when it's going to be needed, in this time band it must usually be stored somewhere nearby. Maybe it's put into the secret passageway. I was going to suggest that it gets stuffed into the piano, but then I remembered that we've heard that piano being played in parallel time. Or maybe there's a cupboard in the never-seen wall - but that would be boring.
-
The secondary afghan was neatly folded on the bed in the Tower room in episodes 1044 and 1045. I thought it looked odd there. The Tower is the place for refugees and misfits, but the afghan made the room look sort of homey.
-
This afghan was draped over the sofa at Stokes's place in episode 1065, during 1995.
-
The secondary afghan is on the lap of Gabriel in 1840 every time we see him in his wheelchair. The episodes I've noted are 1111, 1112, 1146, 1148, 1154_5, 1156, 1158, 1159, 1160, and 1161, but Gabriel appears more than that, so clearly I was negligent in my noting.
Also we see it on Lamar Trask's chair in episode 1145. We know they had other blanket entities that they could use, so it seems strange that they used this particular afghan, but maybe they just grabbed whatever was closest to hand.
