... some people may want to believe that it's the same afghan that's baring witness to centuries of trials, tribulations and tragedy, but I'm here to tell you at last that is quite simply not the case. No, no, no, no! The sad and unbridled truth is that there were possibly thousands of afghans produced with that same exact pattern in Collinsport because it was the only pattern the people of the area were able to come up with and successfully execute. The idea that seemingly the same afghan shows up so often is an errorenous one due simply and unequivocally to a colossal lack of imagination and talent on the part of the afghan makers in Collinsport. Sorry, but that's the reality. Face up to it. Accept it. Live with it.
Ya know, there IS a different afghan that shows up in 1970 PT. The colors are pretty yucky -- reminiscent of the lovely colors in Quentin's famous jacket everyone loves.
I keep trying to get people to accept the fact that it's not really the SAME afghan:... some people may want to believe that it's the same afghan that's baring witness to centuries of trials, tribulations and tragedy, but I'm here to tell you at last that is quite simply not the case.

But seemingly people refuse to believe it - or that the afghan makers in Collinsport were so lacking in imagination and talent. [santa_grin]
I agree that its color scheme is pretty yucky - but I would have worn PT-Quentin's sport coat every day of my life back in the '70s before I would have had that afghan anywhere in my house! [lghy]
Does anyone have a good closeup picture of that afghan? I'd like to get a good look at it.

it's a CONSPIRACY see??!! They are trying to drive us mad by relocating the SAME afghan!
There is no escape from that afghan. It is even mentioned in fan fiction.
It was the Official Collins Afghan! What else could I do?You could have held a seance to learn why it was haunting you.
Angelique Wins, it's great to see you posting again!
Welcome back AW! Ever seen "The Creeping Terror"? If a piece of carpet could be a character, so can an afhan....
But...speaking of seances, doesn't it crack you up that ONE PERSON has to be the one to announce how it's done?And it's a different one every time!
Like the rest of them are complete doofuses (or is that doofi? Like cacti?)No. If it were doofi, than a female doofus would be a doofa. Veering even more wildly off-topic...If you give a loofah to a doofa, will she go through the roofa?
doesn't it crack you up that ONE PERSON has to be the one to announce how it's done? Like the rest of them are complete doofuses (or is that doofi? Like cacti?) who couldn't remember what they didn last time. "We must all place our hands on the table--fingers touching. The circle must NOT be broken..." I always want The Carter Family to appear in the background, singing "Will The Circle Be Unbroken."
