Knit One, Felt Too: Discover the Magic of Knitted Felt With 25 Easy Patterns

Summary: Great Book
Review: I have been knitting for over 15 years, but this year's Northeastern Winter has made me try felting. I purchased Felted Knits first and was in love, then I found Knit One, Felt Too. This is the first book I have actually taken time to read the introduction and background on felting. It is really a well thought out and well written book. But the hook is the patterns, they are all very simple, yet fantastic to do. The book uses only 2 different sizes of needles and the yarn is easily found. What more can you ask? Its great for beginning knitters and experienced ones. Kathleen encourages you to branch out and try different color patterns and accessories than what she uses.
This book should definitely be on every knitter's shelf.
I love it.

Summary: Easy felting for the beginner
Review: The author gives clear instructions and great advice on felting techniques. I made the beaded purse on the cover in a couple of nights. One of the best features are the illustrations in the glossary for techniques. It's the first book where I could understand how to use intarsia and fair isle techniques. I'll definitely be making more projects from this in the coming weeks and months.

Summary: Great book - honest and lots of info for felting
Review: The ideas and projects are amazing. If you like inspirational eye-candy that makes you want to run out and get some supplies - this is the book for you.

When it comes to good instructions and real-life experience in the variable nature of felting, it doesn't dissappoint at all. The information is presented in a factual way, and the cautions she warns about don't come off as preachy.

Even if you don't make every project in the book, the photography is wonderful, you can see the effects of using the yarns as she reccomends. She includes some embellished items as well (beads and felt applique adorn some projects).

Its a great book, I think it would be a wonderful addition for any knitter's library!

Summary: Knitting Items to Felt Made Easy
Review: This book is terrific! I have been knitting for over 20 years. This is the first time I have felted. Knit One Felt Too explained the process easily and directly. The directions were so pleasant to follow. I will purchase more books by this author. I was a little disappointed that there were some pictures of felted items that had no directions with them. Maybe the author will write a new book and include these directions.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is a great book to get a solid understanding of felting and what can be done with felted fabric (it can be cut, who knew?!). The patterns are easy to follow and comprehensive. However, if you have a chance to flip through the book be aware that patterns for some of the items featured are not included in the book. I intended to make felted clogs which are pictured in a feature on "fiber trends" and was disappointed to find the pattern was not included. Overall, an excellent addition to the knitter's collection.
