3.0 out of 5 stars A good first book and reference, Jan 7 2006
By Pat "@geminidream.ca" (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
When I got this book, I was looking for some in-depth information on felting, and the author covered a lot of questions that I had come up against when looking just at single patterns. There's a good variety of projects and yarns used, and the colour photos are quite lovely; it's very nice to find a book that doesn't just feature one brand of yarn. I agree with previous reviews that there's not a lot of 'new' patterns, but there's a good range of different things that are felt-tested. I don't agree that the patterns are easy to follow though - the sidebars that give the project requirements are not clearly laid out, and often two or three projects are mixed in together; as well, some of the more structured projects (slippers, tea cozy) seem to have unnecessarily complex instructions for what one would think would be a fairly simple item. Overall, I would recommend the book for its comprehensiveness, but I wouldn't put it at the top of the list...

2.0 out of 5 stars save your money, Jun 12 2004
I own about 10 knitting books, and this one is the first one with which I am disappointed. Many of the patterns in here are quite intuitive; meaning, that one probably doesn't need a book to be able to figure out how to knit them. Books with felting patterns should highlight patterns that are difficult to create. Otherwise, what's the point of buying a book? The challenges of felting are in determining scale and ratio, and anticipating shrinkage when you felt the item. None of these patterns are particularly interesting or nice-looking.

Given its 2003 press date, I would have liked to see more fashionable items like a bucket hat, a striped felted bag with closure, and more useful household items, like a fruit bowl. Instead, the patterns include a bowler hat, felted mittens, dowdy looking slippers and several simple square bags. Its saving grace is a nice-looking felted rug, but I could have probably figured that one out as well. Isn't it just a rectangle?
