Last-Minute Afghans: Quick-knit designs from Annie's
 |
|
|
Last-Minute Afghans includes color photos of each afghan, along with clear instructions and easy-to-follow charts. Each project can be adjusted in size by creating more or fewer motifs, as each afghan is made in smaller pieces and then sewn together.
The afghans are quick-to-knit in a variety of styles, including lace, intarsia and cables. The patterns are written in the easy through intermediate skill levels using super bulky yarns or double strands of yarn.
Rena Stevens, a retired college professor, is the designer of the book's projects. She sold her first knitted design in 1988, and since then has sold more than 150 designs and authored 15 books.
Kara Gott Warner is the book's editor. She joined the Annie's editorial team in 2010 as the executive editor for the company's entire line of knitting publications. She is also the editor of Creative Knitting magazine.
