What a great book! Now you don't have to decide whether your next craft project will be to crochet an afghan or to cross-stitch a sampler. This book makes it possible for you to do both - with the same project.
There are 26 designs with every project accompanied by a color photo of the completed afghan. The instructions are simple, clear, and easy-to-follow. Crochet the background canvas using the simple afghan stitch.The grid formed by the afghan stitches makes it easy to lay in the cross-stitch design, following the clearly drawn charts and color keys. And because the stitches are large, you see your design evolve very quickly.
So, collect your palette of yarns, choose a design, and begin illustrating your own afghans! The only problem will be - there are so many great looking afghans in this book, you will have a hard time deciding which one to make first!
