Summary

"I Heart Felt: 33 Eye-Popping Projects for the Inspired Knitter" is a follow-up to the author's very successful first book on felting ("Knit One, Felt Too"), which was really meant as a beginner's guide. "I Heart Felt" will also be appropriate to newcomers in felting but it pushes the creative edges on just what you can do with felting, making for a hugely imaginative and engaging collection of 33 original designs--she experiments with felting textured knitting (cabled knits, for example), felting colored knitting (either combining yarns, including novelty yarns, for subtle or outrageously eyecatching results or felting Fair Isle and other multicolored knitting), and embellishments, either worked directly into the knitting or added to the project post felting.
