Product Description
Product Description
Rita Weiss’s classic, bestselling guide—which sold more than 500,000 copies—has been thoroughly redesigned, completely updated, and made more beautiful and fashionable
than ever before.
Think of this as a new book, not just a mere revision of the original 7-Day Afghans. It’s undergone a complete transformation through the addition of full color, with all the patterns rechecked for accuracy and rewritten in an easy-to-follow form. Almost all the original afghans appear, gorgeous as ever, but remade in fashionable, contemporary yarns and shades. Plus, several entirely original designs have been added to enhance the modernization. One look will have knitters and crocheters pulling out their needles, eager to begin. (A “refresher course” will quickly get rusty crafters up to speed.) Make an exquisite Watercolors blanket with fun-to-do cross stitches; a lacy Ice Crystals afghan; Pink Perfection, an easy crochet design that’s perfect for beginners; and other beautiful patterns. The author lives in San Marcos, CA.

Easy Crochet,
By
This review is from: 7-Day Afghans (Paperback)
I bought this book some years ago but still use it today. I have made several items from the book. It is clear, concise and easy to follow. The pictures are great but I would have like to see the colour pictures next to the patterns. Flipping back and forth isn't fun. And sometimes, you need to see the picture to have the pattern make sense. All in all, it's a great book with some worthwhile projects for both the new crocheter and the more experienced one.

Look past the outdated color combos....,
By A Customer
This review is from: 7-Day Afghans (Paperback)
Yes, the colors in some of these afghans pretty much scream "late 70's early 80's", but if you can look past that and visualize some of these patterns in currently available yarns, there are some gems here. Easy, classic patterns. I crocheted the "Desert Sands" pattern for my 6yo daughter using a bright, rainbow variegated yarn from Red Heart and it came out beautifully, so much so that her younger sister wants a matching one! Some really great patterns here for beginners. Worth having in your pattern library.

A little bit outdated for me,
This review is from: 7-Day Afghans (Paperback)
I was excited by the other reviews and bought the book, but I'm dissapointed with the 70's and 80's look of these afghans. The black and white photos do help to picture other color schemes you might like to try after seeing the colors presented in the middle of the book.
