Book Reviews of Vanna's Choice Color It Beautiful Afghans (Leisure Arts #4432) (Vanna's Choice)
Book Review: Pattern Errors!
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the patterns and colors in this book are beautiful, I am finding my first project (the log cabin style baby afghan) a bit disappointing. The strips that appear in the pattern's photograph are much wider than the actual pattern results. Although I've completed the same number of strips that appear in the photo, my afghan is only about half the length and width of the finished size. I've checked my guage and it's correct, so I fault the instructions!
Although I intend to continue the project until it's big enough, I'm not enjoying having to switch colors so frequently, and I don't think the narrow strips are as attractive as the strips in the photo.
Book Review: Building blocks of creativity.
Summary: 5 Stars
In this book, Vanna builds on basics to increase your "vocabulary" of creative tools. Use it all just as presented, or use it as a starting point to make more varied and spectacular projects.
Vanna's Choice Color It Beautiful Afghans is a keeper for beginner and novice crocheters. The directions are presented clearly. It's also a super brush-up for the more experienced.
If you are looking for a new addition to your crochet library, you won't go wrong with this.
Book Review: Novice Crocheter
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved the book. Can't wait to try out the suggestions. I've only been crocheting for a little over a year. The instructions seem clear and concise. I loved the ideas for color combinations. Can't wait to start putting these ideas to the test.Book Review: Vanna's Choice Color It Beautiful Afghans

The book was exactly as presented and was shipped and received in very fast time. I am very pleased and would use this bookstore again and recommend to other buyers on Amazon.Book Review: Beginner crochet
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent book with novel project ideas for the novice at crochet. If you enjoy more complicated patterns, I suggest one of her other books. However, this is great to learn stitches with and practice some more basic patterns while completing beautiful gifts for friends and loved ones.
