Summary: BEST PATTERN GIFTS IDEAS
Review: How could you ask for anything more? This is it.But at first, I was a little dissapointed when I scan the book. Pictures were all black and white , but wait a minute the middle pages were colored it was numbered corresponding of each project. I made a sigh of relief, of course I wanted it colored. Easy to follow and lots of creative ideas.Hope you'll enjoy this book as I did myself.

Summary: A little bit outdated for me
Review: I was excited by the other reviews and bought the book, but I'm dissapointed with the 70's and 80's look of these afghans. The black and white photos do help to picture other color schemes you might like to try after seeing the colors presented in the middle of the book.

Summary: Aghans, fast and easy
Review: This is the book I recommend whenever I am asked which one to buy to do "simple" and "fast" afghans. I'd also recommend this book as an important part of anyone's knitting library for the following reason; sometimes you need to make a fast and impressive gift (for a new baby, a house warming, a sick friend.) What is better than a gorgeous afghan in colors you choose to suit your special friend? And afghans don't have to fit anyone. They are also valuable for using up stashes of yarn and for donating to shelters (check first to see your local shelter wants this kind of donation and if they want washable types of yarn.)

Summary: Look past the outdated color combos....
Review: Yes, the colors in some of these afghans pretty much scream "late 70's early 80's", but if you can look past that and visualize some of these patterns in currently available yarns, there are some gems here. Easy, classic patterns. I crocheted the "Desert Sands" pattern for my 6yo daughter using a bright, rainbow variegated yarn from Red Heart and it came out beautifully, so much so that her younger sister wants a matching one! Some really great patterns here for beginners. Worth having in your pattern library.
