Review on LEISURE ARTS 307373 ARTS Keepsake Afghans by Jessica Lewis

This is a good book with nice patterns and I will probably finish all of them in time but I would like to point out that I made pattern #3 Exquisite Keepsake - not quite finished with the rim yet - and that is far from the case, as the picture shows. It's about 5 or 6 inches shorter. And I used a larger needle than recommended because I tend to knit *a little* tighter than most patterns. The maker of this pattern was supposed to have a very loose stitch, but the width is almost right, so it can't entirely be my personal sizing error. And even though I meticulously counted the loops on the edge because I know that's important, it still turned out wrong, and I had to readjust in the following rows. What as they say, if you're a semi-experienced knitter you should be able to master these patterns. And they come out beautiful when you don't expect the measurements to be perfect.
