FANTASTIC BOOK | Customer Rating: | | GREAT BOOK...HAS LOTS OF PATTERNS FROM THE SIMPLE TO THE COMPLICATED. THESE PATTERNS USE WORSTED WEIGHT YARN AND MOST ARE DONE ON SIZE 7-8-9 NEEDLES, SO THESE ARE NOT "QUICKIE" PATTERNS. I HAVE MADE TWO AFGHANS FROM THESE BOOK AND THEY WERE WELL WORTH THE TIME THEY TOOK. CHECK OUT THIS BOOK IN YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE THEN BUY IT FORM AMAZON, THAT'S WHAT I DO - THAT WAY YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU REALLY LIKE THE PATTERNS. | Five Stars ++ for This Great Collection of Afghans | Customer Rating: | "Heirloom Afghans to Knit and Crochet" contains 40 inspiring afghan designs. The designs are about evenly split between knitted and afghans and crocheted ones, so if you do both crocheting and knitting like I do, you'll find this book to be a gold mine of ideas!!
As the title implies, these designs are a few steps above beginning skill levels in knitting and crochet, as each afghan is truly a masterpiece. Each design is bursting with color and texture, yielding a beautiful afghan to be treasured for many years.
Another thing that I really like about this book is that the yarns called for are inexpensive and easily found at your local craft store or even Wal-Mart. Almost every design calls for standard worsted weight yarn or baby weight yarn. The beautiflly photographed samples are made in staple yarns for afghan knitters such as Plymouth Encore, Patons Canadiana, and Red Heart Super Saver.
If you love to create beautiful afghans, this practical book is a must have! There are so many gorgeous designs in here, I will be busily knitting and crocheting for quite some time. | Great Afghan Book | Customer Rating: | | Great book for serious afghan lovers. Although I don't knit afghans, the ones in this book are Very Nice. All in all, this is a great collection of Beautiful afghans. | Real winner | Customer Rating: | | I collect afghan books in both knit and crochet stitches and this one ranks at the top with a few others. There are 40 projects of which 17 are knit. The crocheted afghans are much more interesting as some of the knit ones are ho-hum. The first afghan, Rosy outlook, shows that the editing was a bit slapdash(colors not given for the panels). Also not all the afghans have attributions and others, although quite good, came from Patons Design Staff . Standouts are the 2 tunisian crochet afghans, hexagon wheels, and pretty pinwheels. Most of the yarns are knitting worsted. For the serious knitter or crocheter (no beginners) this book is highly recommended. |
