For October, we're headed back to 1982.   The Cold War is still going on.  USSR is performing nuclear tests and President Ronald Reagan declared a war on drugs. 

Top 40 songs included:
  • "Jack and Diane" – John Cougar
  • "Who Can it be Now" – Men At Work
  • "Eye in the Sky" – The Alan Parsons Project
  • "I Ran" – A Flock of Seagulls
  • "Abracadabra" – The Steve Miller Band
  • "Athena" – The Who
  • "You Can Do Magic" – America
  • "Heartlight" – Neil Diamond
  • "I Get Excited" – Rick Springfield (I had this album)
  • "Mickey" – Toni Basil
  • "Hold On" – Santana

Fiction best sellers were:
  • Master of the Game by Sidney Sheldon
  • Space by James A. Michener
  • The Valley of the Horses by Jean M Auel (I think I read this)

Non-fiction best sellers
  • Jane Fonda’s Workout Book
  • Living, Loving and Learning by Leo Buscaglia
  • A Light in the Attic – Shel Silverstein (I still have this)

We were watching Dallas, Magnum P.I., Simon & Simon, The Love Boat, The A-Team and Hart to Hart.  Vanna White replaced Susan Stafford on Wheel of Fortune.

The October 1982 Workbasket Magazine had four crochet patterns.  There’s the Checquers Afghan:

And the two you'll choose from this month - A Cuddly Cat or a Watermelon Ensemble

The cuddly cat is described as "adorable on a child's bed".   The Watermelon Ensemble is a potholder, a key chain, a bookmark and a refrigerator magnet.  

What do you think I should make; a cuddly cat or some watermelon accessories?

    I'm from Minnesota and have been crocheting since 2003.  I inherited a box full of Workbasket Magazines from my mother-in-law and became obsessed with the vintage patterns.
