3.0 out of 5 stars
most designs are for intarsia knitting,
By knitting librarian (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Afghan Squares to Knit (Hardcover-spiral)
You'll like this book if you're crazy about intarsia knitting. Only a small selection of squares uses pattern instead of colour. Many squares have beads and sequins - I imagine it makes for an interesting-looking but uncomfortable blanket! The individual squares themselves are uninspired - geometric (lots of squares and circles), stripes, simple motifs like hearts and stars. Still, for the price, it's not a bad book. By "for the price" I mean that as of February 2004, you shouldn't have to pay more than US$ 7 for this book - it's been remaindered. I picked up my copy yesterday at a Canadian book superstore for CAD$ 7.50, and there were skids of them.

pattern error,
By A Customer
This review is from: 100 Afghan Squares to Knit (Hardcover-spiral)
I have just started knitting the Picnic afghan, starting on p. 87. I just discovered that the directions for the Basketweave square are incorrect. Row 13 -- the purl count in the parentheses should be 5, not 6.So far, the other squares are fine and it is quite lovely.

Easy to mix- and - match,
By "segnbora33" (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Afghan Squares to Knit (Hardcover-spiral)
The best thing about this book is that although the squares are put together into specific afghans, there are clear instructions on how to mix and match them to make your own customized afghan. The patterns are all relatively simple and well-explained, and the color combinations are really striking. The only drawback is that all the suggested yarns are made by rowan. The back flap of the book says that the author is a Rowan employee, so it's understandable that she would suggest these yarns, but Rowan yarn is out of the price range of many knitters, especially for the size of an afghan that could cost hundreds of dollars with a yarn like that. But as a starting point for some great combinations, I think it's a great book to have on your shelf for reference! I learned a lot just adapting some of the squares.
