Charted Picture Afghans

[Bendy]

Wanted to let everyone know my new book is out, Charted Picture Afghans. http://www.anniesattic.com/detail.html?prod_id=84890

I had a lot of fun creating this book. I enjoyed drawing the different pictures such as the elephant. But my favorite part was the simplicity of crocheting afghans that used only single crochet and double crochet stitches. I hope everyone enjoys the book. If you have any questions, just let me know

OMG! That is YOUR book? I seen that and want it oh so bad!!! I love it and thought how easy it would be to do them without having to change colors of yarn, etc. Regular graph ghans I can't seem to get the hang of, plus I make such a mess with the different yarn hanging around and getting twisted!

That is awesome!! Congrats

[Bendy]

Thank you! Glad you like the Charted Picture Afghans book

 

I agree with you, I don't enjoy using 5 or 6 different colors at the same time either. I have tried rolling the different colors up and pinning them as suggested, but mine always get tangled anyway

 

In the Charted Picture Afghans book the designs just use one color and as a result I found the afghans very relaxing to crochet. I hope you do too

I've hade my eye on this one. I didn't know it was your designs. Great work! I hate color changes!

[Granny Square]

Very cool book - me three on the color change thing

Bendy, your afghans are so elegant! What a beautiful book! Congratulations!

[Bendy]

Thank you! It was a fun book to create

Awesome.

What a neat book! I love the technique... similiar to things I have thought of before but never knew how to make work! I will have to keep an eye out for this book! Maybe if I can figure out the technique I could turn some of my graphs that I would love to do without having a million ends to sew in and color changes galore! I love the much cleaner work that you see in your book!!!!!

Congratulations!

Another I got to have this one too. smile

The branch and leaves ghan have my interest perked. Curious...What's the big B stand for Bendy?

[MaryPat]

I hope your book is a success. Very unique approach.

[Bendy]

Thank you everyone. I hope all of you enjoy the book.

 

Diana, when a designer does a book they generally receive the crocheted models back. After awhile the pile becomes rather large So I generally give the items away or donate them to auctions for fund raisers.

 

In this case, my plan was to give the rose afghan to my husband's secretary as a thank you gift for feeding all our babies (2 cats, 1 dog) while we were out of town. Her last name begins with "B"

[crochetbydiana]

Thanks for sharing the B details. It's kinda cool knowing that background. If I keep the B in it, I'll say it stands for Bendy the designer. bwg

I had to take a second look cause I totally missed the roses. I like it even better. Hubby said wow and that must have taken a long time, to the elephant ghan.

I have just purchased the book in pdf form as I am in the UK and can't wait to start the elephant one. Absolutely love it. xxx
