Book Overview
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.

A touch of grandma with a modern twist!

I absolutly love the older patterns. You can always use different yarn and create an old favorite with a touch of modern day technology! i love this book.
Look past the outdated color combos....

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.
Aghans, fast and easy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is the book I recommend whenever I am asked which one to buy to do "simple" and "fast" afghans. I'd also recommend this book as an important part of anyone's knitting library for the following reason; sometimes you need to make a fast and impressive gift (for a new baby, a house warming, a sick friend.) What is better than a gorgeous afghan in colors you choose to suit your special friend? And afghans don't have to fit anyone. They are also valuable for using up stashes of yarn and for donating to shelters (check first to see your local shelter wants this kind of donation and if they want washable types of yarn.)
BEST PATTERN GIFTS IDEAS

How could you ask for anything more? This is it.But at first, I was a little dissapointed when I scan the book. Pictures were all black and white , but wait a minute the middle pages were colored it was numbered corresponding of each project. I made a sigh of relief, of course I wanted it colored. Easy to follow and lots of creative ideas.Hope you'll enjoy this book as I did myself.
7-Day Afghan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I have made many of these afghans and have enjoyed this book. I found the instructions and patterns easy to follow and they do work up fast. I would recommend this book to beginner and advanced knitters or crocheters. These patterns have given me ideas for some of my own creations in color and design.
