Kurzbeschreibung
"Comfort Knitting and Crochet: Afghans" features approximately 50 patterns from the renowned Berroco design team, which is led by Norah Gaughan, author of "Knitting Nature" (STC, 2006). All projects are made using the company's bestselling, affordably priced Comfort yarn, an acrylic/nylon blend yarn that comes in several different weights and 75 different colours and is appealing to both the high and low ends of the knitting and crochet markets because of its high quality, softness, durability and machine-washability. The afghans range in style so that there is something for everyone, from subtle and soothing to traditional, ethnic and ultra-modern. They are photographed in a cross-section of homes - urban and rural, modern and traditional, spare and embellished - representing the varying decorating styles of the homes in which they will be displayed and used. The designs are intended to appeal to an array of knitters and crocheters, from beginner to advanced Those who love Berroco will enjoy this new collection of designs and with the book's affordable price the appeal will surely extend far beyond Berroco's impressive fan base.

Format:Taschenbuch
Das ist ein wunderbares Strickbuch! Die Modelle sind einfach nur toll. Was zum Stricken, was zum Häkeln, viele Teile sind aus einzelnen Segmenten zusammengesetzt und machen total Lust aufs Nacharbeiten. Die Fotos sind sehr schön, und es ist nichts zu spüren von dem leichten Muff, den man bei gestrickten Decken oft findet.
Dass es die Qualitäten in Deutschland nicht gibt ist kein Problem. Alle Maschenproben sind angegeben, und bei einer Decke muss das spätere Maß ja nicht genau eingehalten werden. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Beautiful book with over 50 afghan patterns to suit nearly every taste
18. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Comfort Aghans is a lovely book, filled with over 50 afghan patterns. Roughly half are knit and half are crocheted. The vast majority are written for worsted weight yarn; the remainder are split between DK and chunky gauge. You'll find just about every style under the sun, from traditional stripes to more understated textural patterns; interesting variations on afghans made of squares; modular knitting & creative crochet shapes; embroidery, colorwork, cables and more. There are a few styles specifically shown as baby blankets (although making other patterns in traditional baby colors would easily work) but most of the choices are shown on couches, chairs or other non-baby settings. There are lots of clear, beautiful photographs; charts are provided where necessary; and the skill level ranges from afghan to afghan (some are suitable for beginner knitters or crocheters while others employ more advanced skills). If you do the math, this book is a wonderful value: at the current Amazon price, patterns cost on average less than thirty cents each. And there is nothing about this book as opposed to any other book that would make it difficult to substitute yarns if you didn't wish to use the Berroco yarns shown in the book. At around three bucks a ball for Comfort DK, for example, I don't think the Berroco yarns are exceptionally pricey in the larger scheme of things, but given that afghans provide great flexibility in size/gauge (they don't need to fit precise measurements in the way that, say, a sweater does), and given that most of the book uses worsted weight Comfort -- one of the most readily available gauges available -- it would be a cinch to substitute whatever worsted yarn you prefer, from Red Heart to Malabrigo.
All in all, a lovely book with tons of patterns that run the gamut when it comes to style, technique and skill level.

Beautiful Afghans and Comforters for Every Knitting Level
26. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I purchased this book because I am a knitter and I just love the varied and beautiful patterns that are in here for afghans and comforters. The book calls for the use of Berroco yarn but any yarn with the same gauge can be substituted. Most of the afghans call for needle size 8 - 10 U.S.
My favorite afghans in the book are the Retro which is reminiscent of the 1980's with "mock cables, twisted stitch blocks and garter ribbing". The Gypsy Patchwork is colorful and wild and "evokes the gypsy in all of us". The Weave is a sophisticated looking afghan where each square is knit individually and then sewn together. The Basketweave is perfect for a beginner and would make a beautiful bedspread. There is no edging in this pattern so it can be knit very quickly. Petal is a lovely baby blanket that has a repeat square pattern with a flower in the middle. Floret is also a baby blanket with "cables, ribs, and bobbles" that come together "to form stylized flowers". Still Life will make a lovely wall hanging. It is a multi-color pattern with a vase of flowers and a book lying nearby. It is a piece of fabric art. For you experienced knitters out there who want to take on a challenge, The Ukranian Tiles blanket is spectacular. Made in red and white it consists of "complex geometric patterns...inspired by classic Eastern European textiles as well as the elaborate patterns used to decorate Ukranian Easter eggs." The Kilim is a two-colored textured afghan worked with bobbles and Fair Isle colorwork. Herringbone is a classic afghan with cables and twisted stitches that are knit in a repeat pattern that is easy to memorize. I plan on knitting this afghan soon.
I think you knitters out there get the idea. This is a book of plentiful and beautiful designs, some for the beginning knitter and some for the more advanced. The patterns are adaptable for size and shape and can be made larger or smaller than those in the book. There is something in here for everyone and I highly recommend this book.

Beautiful But Questionable
18. November 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
On the positive side, this is a gorgeous book with beautiful patterns for both knit and crochet--easily bought on a whim. I should, however, warn beginners that this is clearly written for experienced knitters/crocheters, as certain things are assumed to be known or understood (despite the claim that this book is "intended for stitchers of every skill level").
The first and only pattern I've tried is the Bicolor Chevron, and I found two errors: the first repeat asterisk under Row 2 shouldn't be there, and the amounts given for the two colors of yarn are backwards (you should buy 9 skeins of color A and 7 skeins of color B). I also had trouble understanding the described method for handling the color switching, though I am admittedly no expert.
I haven't taken a serious look at any of the other patterns yet, but the amount of errors/difficulty I experienced with the first makes me seriously question the rest of the book. I don't necessarily regret buying it, but I expected much higher quality (at least in terms of editing).
