Unique, Handcrafted Afghans ~ For You!

Welcome!

My name is Julie (my friends call me Jules) and I started JMark Afghans, etc. to share my love for soft, cuddly afghans ~ and all things crocheted. (I had to - the furniture was buried and the closets were full!)

Unlike other websites, we let you design what we crochet. I have created a variety of styles and a range of sizes to get you started. The colors are always up to you; though we have color charts to help with that, too. Don't worry - it's easy as can be.

Let's start with the basics:

What Is An Afghan?

You've never seen an afghan? Well, let me explain.
An afghan is a hand-crocheted (or knitted) throw or blanket. Made from the same type of  yarns  used for sweaters, scarves, hats, and shawls, they come in a variety of sizes, patterns, and weights.

Some afghans are tightly woven, and incredibly warm and cozy ~ and heavy. Others are lighter, lacy, decorative, and beautifully elegant.

Draped over the back of a sofa or chair, a hand-crocheted afghan is a beautiful accent to any room and the perfect companion to a Sunday-afternoon nap. As a cover on the bed, you won't remember how you ever did without that soft, perfect afghan. The smaller sizes make an excellent wrap, baby blanket, or lap warmer.

There are machine-woven 'items' available on the Internet that call themselves afghans, but - as a purist - I believe that only those which are handmade deserve the name.
