Quick and cozy afghans

I had this book for many years and made almost all the Afghans. All came out beautiful. Instructions very easy to follow. My book was thrown out while I was in the hospital. Someone decide to declutter items I use often!

Not too quick.

I love this crochet book it has lots of different designs. Most do require sewing as they are mile a minute. In the whole book I found about ten designs that I want to make. My favorite one is the one shown on the cover it's a mile a minute design holding two strands of yarn together. I may do it in a bulky yarn instead of holding two strands. So far I've only made one blanket out of this book.

I'm making a list of all the patterns in this book for you, yes, YOU lucky reader, because that helps me when I'm trying to figure out if I need ANOTHER crocheting book or not. Here goes:

All quotes are taken from the book. Happy crocheting!

Good patterns. None of them so complicated that you'll give up on your project. Instructions are well written and easy to understand. All of the yarns and needles are available in the U.S., nothing that's U.K. only like some books have. All in all it's a good pattern book to have. The possibilities are endless because you don't have to pick to colors shown in the photos. It'll keep you busy for awhile!
