The Story of Homespun
One of the first specialty yarns offered to the mass market, Lion Brand's Homespun intrigued crocheters from the start with its unique texture and rich blended colorways. Stitchers are also amazed at how fast the lovely, lofty, easy-care bulky weight yarn works up into stunning afghans and garments. This book showcases 9 painterly afghans to crochet, photographed in the historic American mill where Homespun is produced. The photos and story reveal the "magic" behind Homespun, taking you through the steps of how the yarn is made and introducing you to its rich history. Nine afghans to crochet: Modern Edge; Classic Elegance; Rustic Squares; Radiant Ripple; Stripey Quilt; Colorful Wheels; Pennant Flag; Roundabout; and Falling Leaves.

50 Crocheted Afghan Borders
from Leisure Arts
Have you ever completed an afghan and thought there was just something missing? It was really pretty but...well, it seemed to need something else and it wasn't fringe! What that afghan probably needed was a border. And this book by Jean Leinhauser gives you 50 of them, which can be added to just about any afghan, whether it's knitted or crocheted, to provide the finishing touch. Some of the borders are wide and ruffled, some are narrow and tailored. Others are very feminine, some are more masculine. All of them are fun to work and will turn the plainest afghan into something very special.
