Learn-To-Knit-Afghan Bookby Barbara Walker
I can't believe that I haven't started this. I got this book when I first started knitting. The purpose is to learn numerous techniques through knitting afghan squares. Mosaic, slip-stitch, twist-stitch patterns, cables and lace, to just name a few. I flipped through the book. Holy cow! I'm excited! Why did I put this off for so long, considering that I have purchased all the yarn and notions? And knitting one square at a time will sure to keep things interesting. Yes, I can do this and knit the baby sweaters at the same time. Yay!

I got this book in the mail yesterday! Some great designs in there! The author also tried to keep things interesting by incorporating different techniques like entrelac, slip-stitch, intarsia, stranded color knitting and double knitting. How fun!

I just purchased the book as I think its a good reference book. I have been knitting for 4 years this month so it might be a bit late to do the afghan. I thought it would be a great class book and teach others to knit using the squares. It would be a long class.
Which yarn are you using?
Oops. I was looking at your previous posts going oldest to newest. I see you answered my question about yarn.
Wow Gerald! That would be a long class. How long do you think it will take for 63 squares? Actually, I would love it if I could do this in a class instead of alone. It's good to be able to ask questions and see techniques demonstrated in person.
