Book Description

Series: Vogue Knitting on the Go! | Publication Date: May 28, 2005

Felting--or boiling a knit item so it shrinks and the fibers mesh together--yields amazingly durable, beautiful pieces with unusual textures. It's the perfect technique for beginners because many mistakes just disappear during the washing process. With this new entry in the popular Vogue: Knitting on the Go series, knitters can get in on this increasingly popular technique and make more than 20 stylish projects. An introduction explains all the knitting basics and felting fundamentals, from yarn selection to blocking and finishing the final product, and there's a wide variety of great things to create. Knit a flower clutch bag, baby blanket, pillows, a snake toy, beret, tea cozy, slippers, scarves, multicolored mittens, and more.

As an experienced knitter and felter, I was surprised how great this little book is. I have made several things from it and they worked up easily and well. The directions are clear, the photos attractive. Overall the book is just a great little asset to my knitting library.

Just what you would expect from Vogue - like all the other little hardback Vogue 'Knitting on the Go' books. Lots of dreamy project ideas that look just a little more stylish, a little more unique than the standard patterns out there. I own an embarrassing number of knitting books (I could never knit something from all of them!) but time and again I go back to the 'Vogue Knitting on the Go' books for a quick gift, a fun pick-me-up or in-between project, or sometimes just to remind myself why we knit.

This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go! Felting (Hardcover)

As a life long knitter and spinner, I'm always on the lookout for the new and unusual, but am very particular about what I actually buy. Vogue's little felting book is a winner. Clear directions, creative ideas, and a new look for my knitting projects - what could be better. Highly recommended for the crafter who wants to take it up a level.
