* Fabulous felted hand-knits
Posted on June 7th, 2005 by maitreya. Filed under Crafty Book/TV Review.
Anybody who reads this has probably noticed my affinity for anything felt. Fabulous Felted Hand-Knits by Jane Davis has a few great ideas that I haven’t seen elsewhere, but not much else (i.e., I’m glad my library has it). My favorite one is on the cover: a bag make from a piece of wide-striped knitted, felted fabric that’s cut so you can’t tell the trick. There’s also a neat felted ruffle on a pillow, and another good tip: crocheting the edges of a scarf so it felts evenly with the middle. Ones I don’t like: patterns that mix felted and unfelted knitting and, oh the humanity, so much fun fur.

i got the book as a gift and was really disappointed. the purse on the cover was one of the few things i liked, there was a cute clutch, although their colors were ugly. what did you think? i have seen some amazing japanese felting books that are sooo much better.

I was just thumbing through this book this weekend in Central Oregon. The purse on the cover caught my eye. It’s also my favorite project. I didn’t purchase the book, and after reading Natasha’s comment above, I probably won’t.
