Product Description
Product Description
"Comfort Knitting and Crochet: Afghans" features approximately 50 patterns from the renowned Berroco design team, which is led by Norah Gaughan, author of "Knitting Nature" (STC, 2006). All projects are made using the company's bestselling, affordably priced Comfort yarn, an acrylic/nylon blend yarn that comes in several different weights and 75 different colours and is appealing to both the high and low ends of the knitting and crochet markets because of its high quality, softness, durability and machine-washability. The afghans range in style so that there is something for everyone, from subtle and soothing to traditional, ethnic and ultra-modern. They are photographed in a cross-section of homes - urban and rural, modern and traditional, spare and embellished - representing the varying decorating styles of the homes in which they will be displayed and used. The designs are intended to appeal to an array of knitters and crocheters, from beginner to advanced Those who love Berroco will enjoy this new collection of designs and with the book's affordable price the appeal will surely extend far beyond Berroco's impressive fan base.

This book is georgeous !There are indeed afghans for all tastes in it, and some of them are amazing !I particularly liked "Bright Star", which is like the patchwork pattern of the same name( not that any crocheter needs to be told that you can imitate patchwork very successfully in crochet ); then there was the classic simplicity of "Spiral", "Houndstooth"and "Mindfull " , plus the sheer fun of "Irish Floral".This book is a real pleasure to browse through, as well as tempting you to try several of the afghans and throws shown
I would rate this book as excellent.

This book is fantastic, I cannot recommend it highly enough. All of the patterns are completely gorgeous, I honestly think I want to make all of them! The best thing about this book is there are patterns for every level of knitter and crocheter (and a good balance of knit and crochet patterns too) - there are some that are very simple yet effective that even a beginner could make, and there are more accomplished pieces using cabling, colourwork etc, for advanced crafters (and for beginners to aspire to). I'm a beginner knitter myself and find so many books like this are full of things I can't make and it makes you feel like giving up before you've even started - but this book is the antidote to that. I only began knitting around a month ago and have just embarked on the 'Seersucker' design from this book - I'm finding the instructions very clear and easy to follow. I've been crocheting for a number of years, and there are also more advanced crochet designs for me to do. I can see this book being my constant companion for a good number of years yet.
Format:Paperback
Beautiful photos and good pattern descriptions. I have yet to start on one but I'm hoping the end product will look as good as this book. Lovely deigns, I think I love every pattern, it will be hard to choose which one to make first!
