Knit Today

The idea of felting can scare even the most experienced of knitters, but the technique is easy to learn and you’ll soon see just how simple it is to produce really unique and lovely items. Leigh, an experienced knitting instructor and designer, goes beyond the basic felting processes to show how slight variations can produce entirely different results. Creativity is encouraged in all the projects in the book, which range from clothing and accessories to cushions and rugs – even a tree skirt! Learn how to felt entire objects, or how to use it as embellishment and appliqué – both valuable skills for the imaginative knitter. With lovely colour pictures, clear instructions and advice along the way, this book will give you a good introduction to felting and all that can be achieved with it. The book itself is presented really beautifully – hardback with a cloth spine – so it will make a perfect gift for a fellow knitter.
