Book Reviews of Felt It!
Book Review: Were these patterns even test knit?
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, I've knit and felted the Spiral Placemat ( both multi-swirl and small swirl) and I have two lovely bowls. I then corrected for the normal medallion decreases and voila magic, I am getting flat disks. I am sorry to say I was very disappointed in this book. The designs look lovely and I will reknit the placemats as they were requested Christmas presents, however, with on website or errata location listed, I will not try another pattern from this book.
I've looked at the pictures that others have posted on Ravelry and I am not the only one to have this problem. Errata at least should be posted. AAARGH, this puts me behind in my Christmas knitting.
Summary of Felt It!
Growing numbers of knitters are throwing caution to the wind and tossing their wool creations into hot water washing machines, watching as hats, bags, and pillow covers shrink away to a fraction of their original size. The result is a soft, cozy felt, and it has tremendous allure for many knitters.From the purely practical to the wonderfully fun and frivolous, the 20 projects in Felt It! are irresistible examples of what is possible with wool, needles, and hot water. Charming, fuzzy flowers take center stage, with appearances on brooches, evening bags, bracelets, and pillows. Felted hats are the warmest toppers for the coldest days, and the appealing texture of felted wool is perfect for sturdy bags and backpacks.
Appealing to a wide range of knitters, felted knitting is a fun technique for beginners to play with and offers enticing challenges to more advanced knitters. For the beginner, the Simple Stripes belt pattern requires just a few hours of work for a colorful felted accessory to wear with jeans. The truly adventurous felter will love the Night-Star Wrap, an elegant shawl that matches rich color with the warmth of alpaca and perfectly sets off a simple black evening dress.
Author Maggie Pace explains all the basics of felting — how to choose wool, why some wools felt better than others, what size needles work best, how to shape projects, and how to monitor every second of the washing-machine process. At times, felting is an imprecise art, demanding inventiveness, creativity, and moxie from the knitter. Pace is there every step of the way, offering her insights and experience to everyone fascinated by the magic of felting.
