Book offers many beautiful afghans with directions that are easy to follow. Book arrived in beautiful condition. Very pleased and will buy from this dealer again.
The combination of the newer types of yarn is great. I consider myself an intermediate to experienced crocheter.this book has wonderful, easy afghans which would be best for beginner to intermediate crocheters.
The color combinations are very unusual on some but there should be something for everyone's taste. There are some spectular patterns in this book.
Certainly not enough to validating creating a new book. This is a well produced book of redone and reworked patterns. 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. 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. 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.
The window afghan is coming along just fine. I was able to interpret the designer's intent with no problem. I just received this book and I have already started on the Stained Glass Window Afghan. There are a few printing mistakes in the pattern, but nothing to really confuse you too much. Enjoy, and you'll have some really fine creations using this book. 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.
