MY REVIEW -

Great book! There is lots of variety in here. All kinds of patterns from clothes, hats, and blankets.

Tons of great full color adorable pictures!

I love that this is a combination Knitting/crocheting book. I guess if you only do one or the other - you might not be as excited, but I happen to do both - so I thought this was great!

Who doesn't love knitting or crocheting for a baby???? My daughter just got married last summer so I am in Grandbaby envy right now. I want all the knit and crochet patterns I can get my hands on! I am determined to have a whole stack of stuff made by the time that baby comes... someday! My future grandchildren will be so lucky!

Wonderful, easy to follow patterns with lots of pictures!

I definitely would make some stuff from this book!

But be aware - as I said - this is a combo knit/crochet book.

Here are a couple of my favorites (I dare you to look at these and not say "awwww")

Oh my gosh! Adorable, am I right?

ABOUT THE BOOK -

For many of us, afghans are the epitome of comfort. Colorful and inviting, they are a staple of the home, without which a living room or bedroom just wouldn’t feel complete. And whether you’re making one for yourself, as a housewarming gift, or to welcome a new baby into the world, the process of creating a handmade afghan can be as rewarding as the finished product.

Comfort Knitting and Crochet: Afghans features 50 patterns for these cozy blankets, made with Berroco Comfort yarn—an affordable, ultra-soft acrylic/nylon blend—and designed by the Berroco team, headed by Norah Gaughan. The book includes something for everyone: The designs range from ultra-modern to traditional, from spare to embellished, and are inspired by sources as varied as Scottish tweeds, Japanese Ikat, and Delft pottery. Intended for knitters and crocheters of every skill level, this collection brings new life to the well-loved and versatile afghan.

MY REVIEW -

Very nice book! There are 50 patterns in this book! So you are bound to find a few you like. 

Very good, easy to follow instructions.

Bright, full color pictures for every pattern! Yay!

Lots of variety, every pattern is different and unique.

There are a few in here that I definitely want to make! Some of these could even be made smaller to make into a shawl! Which I know are real popular right now.

This is one of my favorites, I just love the whole patchwork quilt look of it. -

And I love this one as well -

MY REVIEW -

This is a very small book, 19 pages with only three patterns. I really only liked one of the patterns. The other two were kind of plain to me.

But - the directions for all three seemed very good! There were very nice full color pictures - so bravo for that.

Basically - look at the cover, if you like what you see - buy the book! Its only $1.99 on Amazon so well worth it even if you are only making one.
