Product Description

"I Heart Felt: 33 Eye-Popping Projects for the Inspired Knitter" is a follow-up to the author's very successful first book on felting ("Knit One, Felt Too"), which was really meant as a beginner's guide. "I Heart Felt" will also be appropriate to newcomers in felting but it pushes the creative edges on just what you can do with felting, making for a hugely imaginative and engaging collection of 33 original designs--she experiments with felting textured knitting (cabled knits, for example), felting colored knitting (either combining yarns, including novelty yarns, for subtle or outrageously eyecatching results or felting Fair Isle and other multicolored knitting), and embellishments, either worked directly into the knitting or added to the project post felting.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
In her follow-up to her first book, Knit One, Felt Too, Taylor offers new patterns and projects for veteran knitter/felters and those just starting out. Taylor starts with the basics: felting, for those who don't know, is as simple as accidentally shrinking a sweater in the wash: wool yarn knit on oversize patterns and then shrunk, resulting in "thick, soft, and fuzzy fabric." Anyone familiar with the basics of knitting and pearling-including some cabling-should be able to handle these projects, which range from hats and scarfs to slippers, bags and jackets for men, women and kids. An ideal gift for knitters at any stage, the book's bold, full-color design and cheery photographs make it easy to get enthusiastic about the next project.

Knitting Fun!5
Kathleen Taylor does it again! Her patterns and ideas are exceptional... and inspirational, causing the user to want to do more, more, more! But the really great thing about a Kathleen Taylor book is her writing. Her instructions are clear, and when you read them, you feel that you are sitting with a friend, a very encouraging friend, and that you will create something beautiful. I have knitted most of the patterns in this book, and they all turned out as promised - and as knitters know, felting isn't an exact science. One particular purse pattern garnered compliments from strangers on the street, and what's more, from a textile artist who thought my creation was "top of the line." You can't go wrong with this book.
