little new here
Customer Rating:
This is a well produced book of redone and reworked patterns. There were only two patterns that I had not seen before, the cover and one other. the rest were done in new colors (and most were not an improvement) or with a trim changed. Certainly not enough to validating creating a new book. anyone with an ounce of imagination can work a pattern in a different color or with a different trim, so, no I can't recommend this book if you have more than three other crochet books in your collection. The other issue is that most of the patterns in this are unattractive or just plain boring, there is little to really stir the creative juices, and some brought out all the worst aspects of crochet. That said I find the cover pattern excellent and exciting, it's too bad that the rest of the book didn't live up to expectations raised by seeing that one.
So far, So Good

I just received this book and I have already started on the Stained Glass Window Afghan. I saw pictures of one another crocheter had completed and it was so gorgeous I just had to make one for myself. The other projects in the book look beautiful too, so I will probably be making some of them later on. The window afghan is coming along just fine. There are a few printing mistakes in the pattern, but nothing to really confuse you too much. I was able to interpret the designer's intent with no problem. Enjoy, and you'll have some really fine creations using this book.
Great Buy

When this book arrived, I went through it from cover to cover. I was very impressed by the patterns. There are so many that I want to make. Much more than I usually find in a pattern book. I recomend this book to anyone who enjoys crocheting afghans.
Beautiful, Modern, and Perfect for all skill levels.

This book features Awesome blankets that anyone would want in their apartment!! The book also features instructs, what yarn was used, so that if you want to make it just like it is in the book, you can. It also rates every blanket by skill level, so you will not start something that might be too difficult for you. My only complaint is that some of the blankets aren't that big when made. You may want to buy extra yarn if you want a certain pattern to be bigger.
Buy, love it, start making blankets for all your friends.
Something for Everyone

I'll get this out of the way right now, the cover afghan is AMAZING. Utterly gorgeous. There are several others in the first section of the book that my jaw dropped upon first glance, so really there are some lovely afghans in here.
Yes, the romance section is a little blah, but I think of it more like there being something for everyone in this book. Whether it's daring or traditional, you will find something that fits your style.
I'm just getting back into crochet after knitting and spinning stole me away for several years, and this is one of the first books I bought to beef up my crochet library. Truly a solid addition to your shelf, my only gripes being I like books that are spiral bound and I wish that the blocks (when called for) were charted so I could just follow along visually.
