Weekly Crochet Square: Squares 14 & 15

Yes... that's right... 14 and 15.
I admit it... I slacked.
I am working on catching up, though! I should be all caught up by next Friday. Yay!
Square 14 is a simple stitch with a slightly lacy effect. It is called a V-stitch, and it is made up of double crochets and a chain.
Square 15 is one that I think is really pretty. It it is a version of a cable stitch, made up of double crochet stitches with alternating rows of single crochet stitches.
