A good range of felting projects. Great photos and sketches to show the finished projects. Excellent glossary to explains knitting terms. Some of the patterns are hard to follow as they are broken into sections and the flow is disjointed.

I had never (purposefully) felted anything before I saw this book a week ago. Since then, I've made the purple/green beaded purse and am almost finished with the "lunch sack" bag as well. I've learned how to pick up and knit, as well as make i-cord and it was surprisingly easy to do.

I am looking forward to doing the bunny slippers next for my friends and roommates.

I highly recommend this book if you are a high-level beginner or better.
