"Classics"? No kidding., Jun 13 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Afghans and Crochet Classics: Red Heart (Paperback)
I was not very happy with this book.
I was very disappointed with the patterns herein. When they say "Classics", they're not kidding. These are older patterns from a different generation. They aren't patterns that I find attractive today - especially with all of the prettier patterns on the market. These ones are boring folks. Unless you wanna revisit the past, save your money.
I would highly recommend GARDEN OF AFGHANS and A YEAR OF AFGHANS BOOK 4. The patterns are prettier, there are more patterns to choose from in both of the above titles I've mentioned.
This particular book in question included everything from a granny bed jacket to afghans that aren't exactly fitting for today's decor. They've taken older patterns and updated yarns and color choices, but the patterns are still dated.
YAWN.

Great addition to my pattern stash. The patterns are lovely, and easy to read. The photos are beautiful and inspiring. I've alreay done several projects in the book. I think that I love the entire series of books that Leisure Arts has out.

Wonderful!, Jun 5 2003
This review is from: Afghans and Crochet Classics: Red Heart (Paperback)
I've been crocheting for years, and have gone through a lot of afghan starts and stops. This book has so many wonderful patterns in it that I've managed to finish two of them in a two month period. My only complaint (which isn't really a complaint) is that it only has two baby blanket patterns, yet has six Christmas patterns. Wonderful easy to follow directions, with beautiful pictures.
