Knitting Never Felt Better
The Definitive Guide to Fabulous Felting
Author: Nicky Epstein
The inimitable and incomparable Nicky Epstein follows up on the smashing success of her three-volume Edgings series with another trailblazing book: the paramount guide to felting, the hottest trend in knitting today. Put simply, felting is the process of metamorphosing the texture and appearance of knitted fabric through the alchemy of hot water and agitation.
Nicky's signature taste and creativity are apparent throughout this book as she introduces the reader to the fabulous possibilities felting provides for knitters. After giving basic felting instructions and showing how different yarns react to the felting process, she explores the fascinating creative potential of felted knitting. Dimensional techniques (you'll never look at a bag of mixed nuts in the same way again), textural stitch patterns, lace, colorwork patterns of all types-Nicky shows what a little hot water and careful agitation can do to all of them.
