Product Description

Knitters will find specific techniques and instructions for felting their knitting in this detailed step-by-step introduction, including how to felt on purpose and not by mistake, techniques for both hand and machine felting, and choosing and testing yarns. They’ll also learn whether knitting swatches is really necessary and how big to knit a piece before felting. Twenty-four detailed projects include stylish bags, totes, hats, and mittens; warm and fuzzy vests and slippers; and decorative pillows, placemats, and coasters. With a section on embellishing felting and felting on felt (needle felting), knitters will be inspired to create these beautiful projects for friends and family, from the baby’s first felt hat to the furry slippers for cold winter nights.

Felted Knits by Beverly Galeskas5
I purchased this book because my sister highly recommended it. We have both gotten into felting. I love it. Except for pillows, I want to make everything in there. I am very pleased that I purchased it.

Felted Knits4
This is a great book even for a fairly new knitter. I made the oven mitt and it turned out just like it should. The info about felting in the washing machine is very complete. I only wish the directions for making the oven mitt had been a little bit more complete like letting the reader know to switch ti double pointed needles when shaping the mitt at the top.

Wonderful book!5
A good friend of mine has this book so prior to purchase, I was able to look at it. I enjoyed the variety of patterns as well as sizes, so, I decided to get one. I've made many pairs of the ballet slippers and right now, that seems to be where my main focus is. (You know, all of your friends see them and soon everyone wants a pair:0) There are mittens that are on my list to try next as well as a beautiful felted vest. There are some great bag patterns, as well as home furnishing patterns. The book is easy to read and the patterns easy to follow. I also love how the items are photographed, very country looking backgrounds that are used throughout. Two thumbs up for felted knits!!!
