Blankets and Throws to Knit by Debbie Abrahams

I've been wanting to create a knitted sampler quilt for some time but the issue has always been trying to figure out the number of stitches to cast on to get the same dimensions for each square.  Abrahams' book is just beautiful, a great range of squares using a number of techniques that can indeed be mixed and matched if using the same yarn.  As Abrahams is a Rowan designer yes the instructions for each are given for Rowan wools but tension is given for each making it easy to transfer to cheaper wool by creating a tension square and adjusting needle size.  I love the extras such as beads and sequins and how to use them.  At first the book can seem a bit confusing because the 'help' section is at the end  but instructions for intarsia to change colour, needle and yarn conversions and abbreviations are all there.
