4.0 out of 5 stars 7-Day Afghan, April 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 7-Day Afghans (Paperback)

I have made many of these afghans and have enjoyed this book. I found the instructions and patterns easy to follow and they do work up fast. I would recommend this book to beginner and advanced knitters or crocheters. These patterns have given me ideas for some of my own creations in color and design.

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.)

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.
