This review is from: Quick and Cozy Afghans (Leisure Arts #102626) (Perfect Paperback)

I was not dissapointed at all when this book arrived. I am in love with the Cozy Wrap which is shown in a cream color and made holding 3 strands together. Really Red is gorgeous, Soft Stripes which is made holding 6 strands together is on my must do asap list. Pretty in Pink, Vintage Ripple... so many patterns to enjoy here! There are some I will make as shown, and patterns that give me ideas for original creations of my own. There is nothing stale or boring here, and if I ever lose this book I'll buy it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has something for everyone!, September 1, 1998

This review is from: Quick and Cozy Afghans (Leisure Arts #102626) (Perfect Paperback)

This book has a variety of afghan patterns for every skill level. This book is a special part of my collection because I used a pattern from this book called "White Lace" to crochet a very special afghan for my little girl. I didn't crochet it in white though since my favorite color is purple. I crocheted it in a very unusual purple yarn that I received as a gift from a dear friend (which made it even more special). I also love the pattern called "Lacy Shells". It is a great pattern for the beginning crocheter since the entire pattern only has 3 rows and row 3 is repeated until desired length.

This review is from: Quick and Cozy Afghans (Leisure Arts #102626) (Perfect Paperback)

This is such a useful book. I am making 2 afghans out of it right now. One is done using 2 strands of yarn and an N hook, and the other is made using tripple crochets and an H hook. Both are working up very quickly and look beautiful. This book has a nice range of patterns in a variety of styles: ripples, grannies, and mile-a-minutes. Some are very simple and some are more complicated. There are also some baby blankets to make. I think that any crocheter would enjoy this book. Mine is showing wear and tear just because I have so often flipped through the pages, admiring and planning projects that I would like to make.
