520 0  Each of these extraordinary hand-crocheted afghans, 
       displayed in magnificent photos, is a blue-ribbon winner. 
       They've all taken the top prize at one of America's state 
       fairs--the prime public venue for showing off the nation's
       best traditional crafts. The styles, colors, and patterns 
       are as varied as the folks who fashioned them, ranging 
       from an afghan with an elegant white-on-white country 
       design to one made from left-over yarn that has a wildly 
       kaleidoscopic motif. Not only can crocheters recreate 
       these wonderful items at home, thanks to patterns, detail 
       shots, and instructions, but they'll also experience the 
       charm that makes the state fair such a special part of 
       American culture. Scattered throughout the text are fun 
       facts about the fairs, from the invention of the ferris 
       wheel to favorite foods, along with both new and vintage 
       black and white photos. "A Selection of the Crafter's
