Book Reviews of Gorgeous Knitted Afghans: 33 Great Designs for Creative Knitters

Book Review: Beautiful afghans!
Summary: 4 Stars

Echoing the sentiments of other readers, this book is full of beautiful afghans. I would knit at least half of the patterns in the book, which is saying something considering there are usually only one or two patterns in a book that I'll actually consider.

That being said, there ARE errors in this book. In addition to some basic spelling mistakes (you're vs. your - a pet peeve of mine) there are also errors in some of the patterns. However, I wouldn't let this stand in the way too much. If you are an experienced knitter you will quickly be able to find them (for instance, written directions in the first row of "Era" tell you to purl a certain number of stitches when, in fact, you should be knitting them) and quickly make corrections.

Overall, I recommend this book. The patterns are beautiful, and the errors, while annoying (I wonder about the editor) aren't bad enough to render a pattern completely un-knittable.
