DIY Afghans (to Crochet)
from Leisure Arts
Presenting an interactive CD to help you, Mary Beth Temple shares her easy technique for interpreting quilt patterns into crocheted afghans. It's all possible without drawing a multitude of squares or cutting and arranging templates. Each afghan is constructed by using a combination of elements. These include small one-color and two-color blocks, large blocks, panels, and edgings. The system even lets you represent color values and orientation for each square. Design possibilities are endless. Photos and complete instructions are given for 8 examples worked in medium weight yarns: Double Diamonds, X Marks the Spot, Sumptuous Sashes, Dashing Diagonals, Star Crib, Flying Geese, Checkerboard, and Kitchen Sink.

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.
