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.
