Reuse of afghans/crochet

[joolee.livejournal.com]

I came across several (cheap!) awesome crocheted afghans at a yard sale recently, and I am trying to figure out how to reuse these items by making dolls or pillows or whatever out of them. I have seen something like this in magazines in the past, but I am having no luck scrounging those up and my web searches so far have not been fruitful.

If anyone has any links or ideas to share about reusing colorful crocheted afghans for other uses, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.
