NEEDLE FELTING/ART TECHNIQUES AND PROJECTS

This is an excellent book for beginners and accomplished felters.

Review: I had never heard of needle felting before reading this book and I was skeptical of the craft at first. After reading this book however, I see it now as a fiber art capable of whimsical dolls and sculptures, and also lovely works of art. Imagination is the only limit to what you can create. As an admitted novice, I felt this book gave useful information as to the tools, and how to choose an appropriate felting needle. The two methods for creating felt are also explained. The five projects begin with the very simple and progress into three dimensional objects.

UNEXPECTED KNITTING - DEBBIE NEW - KNITTING BOOK

This is a new hardcover book.

Review: Some books are landmarks in knitting. Kaffe Fassett wrote some. Mary Thomas wrote some. Elizabeth Zimmerman wrote some. Debbie New's book on "free-form" knitting will place her in this company. This is a guide for any adventurous knitter into new regions of knitting, both for garments and free art. The areas of free form knitting that this author has used, and inspired others to explore, go far beyond the current interest in patchwork knitting and odd shaping. The book is divided up into nine galleries and expositions of different types of totally new knitting study. Words are just not able to describe some of the topologically advanced, 3D assembly ideas and the brand new use of the knit plane. Techniques that are, not necessarily new, but never presented in such a scale as this big, advanced book will inspire. Just studying the ouroborus section will change your mind about traditional, one-row-at-a-time knitting.
