Product Description
From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-Many of these 25 patterns will appeal to teens. The thorough instructions and colorful photographs will entice any knitter (and some would-be knitters) to pick up a pair of needles and get started. Teen-friendly projects include colorful hats, beautiful bags, snuggly slippers, and a teddy bear. The illustrated glossary of terms is a great resource for new knitters.

From Booklist
As Taylor notes, it's disconcerting to shrink a sweater in the washer, but if you knit a loose, oversize garment and then shrink it on purpose, you have turned a wool object into felt. But it's not quite as simple as that. Some yarns and some brands felt more quickly, some need a few minutes in the washer, and others require three full cycles. Taylor offers 25 projects, first showing how to knit the item, then how to get the desired look. The projects are quite inventive, from toddler slippers shaped like bunnies to wine bags decorated with grapes. Taylor's enthusiasm combined with the straightforward instructions and eye-catching color photos will entice knitters. Ilene Cooper

A Felting Must Have,
By Elaine P Hamilton (Belleville, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knit One, Felt Too: Discover the Magic of Knitted Felt with 25 Easy Patterns (Paperback)
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.

I bought even bought an old top loading washing machine!,
By D. Walker (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knit One, Felt Too: Discover the Magic of Knitted Felt with 25 Easy Patterns (Paperback)
This book is great for beginning felting, it got me hooked, I made the mitts, the slippers, then went out and got a pattern for a knapsack, my new frontloading machine doesn't work so I had to buy an old used washingmachine!!!! I am going to buy another felting book now...likely Epstein's...I love the texture of felting, I HIGHLY recommend this book as a starting place. You will just want to buy more felting books!!

Great Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Knit One, Felt Too: Discover the Magic of Knitted Felt with 25 Easy Patterns (Paperback)
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.
