Written for anyone with basic knitting skills, this guide to making, shrinking, and using knitted felt includes 20 stylish, contemporary projects for the modern crafter. Beautiful photographs, step-by-step instructions, and illustrations walk the first-time felter through all the processes. Projects include soft and comfortable felted tops, purses and tote bags, colorful embossed hats, jewelry and accessories, slippers, pillows, modern home accessories, and a strand of felted lights. While the techniques and tools are simple, the shapes, colors, and materials of these pieces give them a sophisticated, urban feel that brings felt into the 21st century.

A beautiful book with innovative designs,
By mssamjan (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Felt Forward (Paperback)
I was so impressed by this book. The designs range from hats to wreaths with lights, bracelets, scarves, sweaters, placemats, purses, pillows and more. The directions and graphs are clear and informative and there is a great deal of additional information on felting and other techniques as well.
Maggie personalizes this book with her own comments. What a beautifully designed and executed book this is.
