Have yet to make my way out of granny squares & wave afghans and would so love to make many that are in this book, so beautiful, unexpected for sure and totally inspirational! A lot of these I looked at as a new crocheter and was amazed they are crochet!

But I think Kristin's Sunken Treasure really speaks to me. It has an interesting smoothness to it. You feel like you could rub each "coin" in your hand. And I love the semmetry of it. I think it would be a great baby/kids blanket, and you could go any direction with the color. <br /><br />The purple one, Amanda,by Tracey Barrett is also beautiful, as is the Exploded pineapple Afghan by Doris Chan. I am a huge fan of lace, and teal is a great color choice. I also really liked the Bethleham Star by Beth Temple.<br /><br />I liked some of the pillows too, especially the Vigne and the Hatsukoi ones.<br /><br />See, I hate to choose just one!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478505526891714381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20658369.post-34035301277297984502012-06-30T14:05:31.347-04:002012-06-30T14:05:31.347-04:00Just wanted to stop by and say hello.

I love the colors, but I also love that not every "square" is a flower. There's diversity in the pattern.<br /><br />But honestly, each afghan is so unique and tantilizing, I could gush about each of them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20658369.post-15383603618770909672012-06-29T13:43:24.698-04:002012-06-29T13:43:24.698-04:00I cannot tell you how much I love this book!

I already knew I loved the Annette Petavy entry before I viewed your link above, but I also really liked the Vika as well as the Damask lace from Marly Bird.<br /><br />The big surprise for me was an entry by Leigh Radford. I love, love, love her knit designs but haven't seen her around in a while.
