I enjoy collecting books, especially cookbooks and pattern books. The other day I picked up Warm Fuzzies: 30 Sweet Felted Projects by Betz White. When I picked it up, I looked at all the pictures and decided to buy it. I assumed it had knitting instructions for all the projects, I was wrong. When I took it home and started reading through it, I found out that it actually instructs you to dig through your closets and local thrift stores for wool sweaters to felt and cut up. I was so excited! Doing it this way is cheaper and easier.
The patterns in this book are great, most of the projects are practical with little details that make them fun. Each pattern has step by step instructions with pictures to help guide you through the project. Unfortunately, I don’t have a stash of wool sweaters lying around, but I plan to take a trip to the thrift store soon and stock up…my first project is going to be a robot sweater vest for my 2 year old!
