About this ebook
Add some color to your life with this step-by-step guide to crafting vibrant afghans and throw blankets.
Amanda’s bold and inspiring use of color and pattern gives stunning results that are deceptively easy to achieve. This colorful book contains illustrated block-by-block guides to creating ten stunning blankets, with color variations providing twenty further creations. Each of the ten blankets is constructed from a series of simple motifs, including squares, hexagons, and triangles: creating a large and sumptuous blanket is simply a matter of piecing together colorful motifs into wonderful arrangements.
The book contains basic instruction on yarns and hooks, explains how to join motifs and sew in ends, and provides a brief guide to using color. For each blanket there is an index of motifs used, accompanied by the instructions for how to make them: both in written form and as a chart. The blocks include a range of shapes and are accompanied by the “fillers” needed to fill the gaps between them. Each project has a full color chart and takes the reader block by block through the entire construction process.

I have been writing since I could put words together. It’s what I love to do. I remember as a young kid being asked what I wanted to do when I grew up and I said I want to write. I know it’s a cliché, but as an eldest child in a lower class family, writing was my escape through some of the darkest times in my life. I have lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan, most of my life. I am now engaged to a wonderful man who encourages me to follow my dream. So this is my try.
