5.0 out of 5 stars
Love the "Seasons" series!, 12 Mar 2006
By scientific mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Afghans for All Seasons: 4 (Paperback)
This is the fourth "Afghans for All Seasons" book Leisure Arts has put out, and it is my favorite. I've made 4 blankets from it for gifts, and there are still others I want to do! The directions are easy to follow, using the usual abbreviations in all Leisure Arts books.
I love the wide variety in all the "seasons" books compared to other Leisure Arts books. From my sister in Houston to my brother in Detroit, I can find a pattern suitable for any climate, age, gender, etc. I must confess I chose different colors for each blanket than the book has (to match decor) but that was easy to do.
I also love the wide variety of sizes, complexity, and speed. I was able to make a large afghan for my tall brother very quickly because the pattern used two threads together. Another smaller baby pattern was perfect for my friend's new nursery. One pattern that they showed in a solid color was easy to convert to two colors. Still another I made for my mother was an easy, repetitive pattern, so I was able to take the blanket anywhere to work on without bringing along the book (much easier to just sit and chat without stopping to check the book directions!)
If you want to get just one book with a wide diversity of GOOD patterns, this or another of the "seasons" series is what I recommend.

Great book! Plenty of afghans you'll love to crochet. Thanks i'd recommend this book for anyone. You can't beat the price or the service.
