How to make an old pattern into a new afghan. June 16, 2008
The patterns in this book are just gorgeous. The techniques are the same old thing, but they are presented in a new way with new ideas. The afghans you make with these patterns may sound like the old thing, but they are not going to look like all the other ones.
Thank you for updated patterns. Now we can make afghans that no one has seen hundreds of times before. You took the "ho-hum" out of crocheting again!
A Favorite Afghan book of mine. June 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have to admit I have many crochet afghan books but this has got to be my favorite. It has patterns that are actually doable! I flip through this book way more than my others and am actually doing several projects out of it. My only complaint is that a lot of patterns they use call for Plymouth yarns which I LOVE however, they are so hard to locate! There is one pattern in here that I wanted to use the exact yarn and colors they used but was not able to locate all the yarns on the whole internet! I wrote the Plymouth company and they couldn't help me either so I'm improvising and buying other brands that look similar. Other than that the book has wonderful displays of colorful afghans that are not just the same ole same ole stuff you find in other books. I'm glad I bought it! Another favorite of mine is the 200 Crochet Blocks book they sale here on Amazon. If you like making afghans, you will like both books. :)
 Disappointing Rehash May 20, 2008
3 out of 9 found this review helpful
I bought this book sight unseen on the strength of the customer reviews. I was so disappointed. The cover afghan is nice, but the rest of the patterns fall into two categories: old patterns I'd seen hundreds of times in different colors or yarns; or new patterns that were more busy than pretty. People, wake up! There's no prize for using the most ugly colors. The color choices in almost all of the patterns was just plain loud and gaudy, the kind of stuff that gives crocheting a bad name. The kind of thing that makes folks say, "Grandma, you shouldn't have," with heartfelt sincerity.
WOW! May 5, 2008

What a great book... I received it today and found at least 25 afghans that I would love to make; I never find that many in any book! I love that many of the patterns use common yarns (i.e. available at walmart or your local craft store). I love the colors and textures shown, but would also readily substitute my own colors - the patterns seem straight forward and user friendly (I must finish up a few (okay, about 10) projects before I dig in and choose a pattern to start with!)
Love this book :o)
