Afghan Calendar 2010: A new afghan for each month of the year

BERNE, Ind.—DRG, leading publisher in the craft and nostalgia markets, with books, magazines, kits and supplies sold under five well-known brands, announces the release of a 12-month calendar for 2010 that celebrates the art of crochet. This colorful calendar retails for $8.95.

Afghan Calendar 2010 is useful for more than keeping track of dates; each new month celebrates a unique afghan pattern, with step-by-step instructions for creating the afghan, and with different textured stitches that include pineapples, granny squares, filet and lace.

The calendar is a valuable resource for crocheters, with afghan designs that will be useful well beyond the year 2010. The projects are contributed by well-known designers Bendy Carter, Melissa Leapman and Carol Alexander.

Products used in the calendar are available from local craft, fabric and variety stores, and are also available from the Annie’s Attic needlecraft catalog, which comes in printed form and on the Web at AnniesAttic.com.

Afghan Calendar 2010 is available in select specialty stores, published under the popular Annie’s Attic brand.

Annie’s Attic produces a wide variety of high quality needlecraft publications and craft patterns known for instructional accuracy and clarity, and for brilliant, creative photography. Every book includes a stitch guide and a list of needlecraft abbreviations for added ease in creating each project.

Annie’s Attic is one of five leading DRG brands. Others brands include The Needlecraft Shop, House of White Birches, American School of Needlework and Clotilde.
