aaaram, any pattern using single crochet can be converted to tunisian stitch. I am going to check out the recommended site because I also would love to do the bargello pattern.

I was able to find Mile a Minute afghan books at my local library. Another option is to use scarf patterns to make your strips. I'm in a CGOA Chapter in Pittsburgh, Three Rivers Crochet, which has made afghans for donation to our local VA programs, that consist of strips we've made and then sewn together (or you could use crochet for the assembly). It's so much easier to assemble strips than individual squares. The yarn we used was left over from making scarves for the Special Olympics. You can see some of the scarves we are making this year on our website (just search for Three Rivers Crochet and you'll find photos on our blog). (I've also used afghan patterns to create new patterns for the scarves I'm making!)
