Summary: Terrific knitted afghan book!!
Review: I have seen many afghan books and this book beats them all. I cannot explain how gorgeous this book looks like. There are complete instructions on making the afghans in both written and chart format. The photography is absolutely beautiful and shows the afghans close-up. There is a complete thorough basic chapter, which includes how to embroider, attach pompoms, store, care, finish afghans, information on yarns, needles, and much more.

I have found that some of the yarns used in this book can be bought at your local Walmart, Michaels, JoAnn, or any craft store or at your local yarn store. The afghans uses ranges of yarns from acrylic to cashmere. When a book does not use cheap yarn, then it just turns me off. This book uses both expensive and cheap yarns, and I can easily subsitute the expensive yarns for cheaper brands!!

I can't say how satisfied I am with this book.

Summary: very special
Review: I recommend this for anyone doing knitted afghans. Each pattern comes with info on the actual yarns used but also with enough info to substitute others. The cover pattern is just gorgeous. The last pattern shows the authors' Indian heritage with the embroidery and shisha work. In between are afghans in aran stitches, lace, slip-stitch, mosaic,modular, etc. A lot of love from a trio of sisters went into this book which makes it so special.

Summary: This is a very good book.
Review: I think those who are interested in making afghans should buy this book. If you don't have enough time to create your own design, you should follow this book because there are many, many beautiful designs here. Especially for this coming winter, I am sure the afghans in this book will be well received. This is "one kind of book" that will enhance your knitting collection.
