I think that this is a really interesting concept or book, but because I don't knit, it was a little hard for me to say "wow, I will do this for sure." I do think that knitting something and then wet felting it would be cool, but neither is something I'm going to tackle anytime soon. My favourite project, the one that I could probably see myself doing, were the swirled round placemats with the cute little napkin ring baubles.

I think that, if I were a knitter, this would be a neat way to take it in a different direction. Especially as most of the projects work towards a smooth felted finish where you don't see the knitting stitches.

Cute little book for beginning felters that already know how to knit. The author has a good section on the idiosyncrasies of felting, which was a good refresher for me even though I'd done a ton of felting. Projects were basic, instructions seemed pretty good. Photography, at least in the ebook format, was kinda poor and the photo styling leaved something to be desired.

Not for beginners

Not what i expected. I do not believe this is for beginners and a person would most definitely need to know how to read patterns

This book has a lot of super cute patterns to felt. I haven't gotten a chance to try anything out yet but I am looking forward to trying a hat, a purse, and some of those super cute flowers!

lots of great how-to information and some really cute projects, but some seem as though they'd take a while to knit
