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.

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 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.

This is the first afghan crochet book I ever bought and it spoiled me. I love that it has a color photo of each afghan on the page facing the pattern. The variety is wonderful. It has an afghan for your every need. I wish every afghan pattern book were set up like this one.

I am currently making my first (of many, I sure) afghan from this book. The pictures are great. I especially like that they simply list the yarn needed as worsted or sport weight and let me choose a brand name that I can get locally. So many books use a specific brand of yarn and I have to determine what I need to substitute to achieve relatively the same result. I LOVE this book and plan to make many more from this book.

This book of patterns includes a lot of variety. There is a blanket in there for everyone. In addition the patterns are easy to follow. So far I have made two afghans out of this book and have not found a mistake in either one of them. I would recommend this book to anyone, as it could be for a beginner or advanced.

This is a wonderful book that I would recomend to anyone. There's something for everyone in this book. There are over 50 different patterns included, all of which are easy to follow. As a matter of fact, I had never crocheted before and began using a pattern out of this book and the patterns are absolutly beautiful.

I really enjoy this book. There is a variety of styles, sizes and pattern types to try out. Also, the book tells you the yarn weight and gauge, not the brand of yarn, so substitutions are easy. The only draw back is that there isn't any rating system as to the difficulty of each pattern - a careful reading is necessary before starting any project.

The afghans in this book are truly beautiful. There are some for baby and for gifts. You definately will not get bored with this book. All the projects are simple and the directions are easy to follow. Quick and simple beauty.

I'm a casual crocheter. I love this book! It's got a great instruction section at the back and lots of variety in the afghans. I like that there's a full color of each item and the instructions right next to it. No searching to find what you need. You can lay the book open and see the instructions and the picture at the same time.

This is my only crochet book. I actually use the patterns to springboard ideas for dish clothes.
