Comfort Knitting and Crochet: Afghans: More Than 50 Beautiful, Affordable Designs Featuring Berroco's Comfort Yarn

i first found this book in the public library a few years ago and i loved the patterns in it. i was never able to make any of the patterns out of it because of time constraints (mine not the libraries) , well, back in sept of 2015 i moved across the country and where i am living now the library here is too small (library i first found this book was 3 stories and covered a city block, and library where i live now is about the size of a gas station) so i bought this book. i have to many favorite patterns in this book i cant pick just one!

I've been waiting for a while to purchase this book but for whatever the reason (price, did not have time to commit to knitting an afghan), I always put it back on the shelf. But when I saw the price and I saw a lady knitting one of the afghans, I couldn't pass it up. I'm still not committed to knitting an afghan but I like that most afghans (and I hope I am correct in saying this) doesn't require using two strands. I live in the South and it's just too hot (a) to knit and (b) to give to someone who lives in the South. But many of the patterns are timeless and a fun.

Very nice book and interesting projects. The book arrived fast, too. I like that there’s a large variety of Afghans to do and they’re in both crochet and knit. I can’t wait to start! Happy with my purchase!

The pictures of the projects can all be found on Ravelry. Some afghans are challenging whcih I have come to expect from the Berroco design team. Others are easy for all skill levels. Yarns can all be easily substituted. The variety here is pretty amazing and very different from the usual afghan book. Both crocheters and knitters are in for a treat with a total of around 50 patterns. Certainly a bargain.

tHIS IS A GREAT CROCHET BOOK.

I am not a crocheter per se (though I do crochet), but the knitting choices run from the simple to the complex and give us a wide choice.If you wish to crochet, there are many of those also.

I have made a lot of blankets as well. This book has both knitted and crocheted blankets.So I can pick and choose in the future. Since I do by crafts.

I bought this book as a birthday gift for a close friend, and since she says it looks like a good book, I am very happy with my purchase. The book got to her in good time, and she says that there are patterns that look interesting/attractive to her, so I'm doubly happy. She has made it a tradition to crochet afghans for friends and family, including my son and other babies in the family, so it's very rewarding to me to help keep her sweet tradition 'going'. Also, she wants to learn to knit, as well, so it will be interesting to see if there will be satisfactory 'results' in her eyes from the patterns/ideas in this book. (Of course, I would LOVE an afghan for myself, but I REALLY didn't buy this book for selfish reasons....LOL.)

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.

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 shownI would rate this book as excellent.(One small warning : the terminology is American. )

This is a great book with lots of beautiful knitting and crochet patterns. Although not all of them are what i would make, it is still a great book to reference and adapt stitch patterns to your own tastes. Clear and concise instructions and great illustrations.

LOve this book. Every pattern is nice and they vary. lots of different ideas. If you have this book you probably would not need another. It has everything..

Definitely one to have in your collection
