Default Searching for a pattern

In 1964 I bought the pattern and all of the yarn to make an full bed
sized afghan. I do not recall the name or who made the pattern. I do
recall that the colors of the afghan were shades of black to gray to
white. It was knit and had, what for me at that stage in my knitting
was difficult, pattern probably something like a feather and fan, but
more to it than that. I would love to do that again, as I never
finished the first and eventually threw away the wool yarn. Believe me,
I wish I could buy enough yarn to complete an afghan today at 1964's
prices as I bought all the yarn I would need AT ONCE. I am thinking it
was probably a Coats and Clark book...a standard 8X11 1/2 pages,
glossy. If anyone has such a booklet, could you get the name for me so
I can do a search on ebay or one of the other auction places.

I just looked through MY patterns and book and magazine stash, don't have
it. Am placing a call to my mother to see if SHE might have it, or if
cousin Lorraine has it from HER mother's stash.....
Stand by!

sorry.
