Product Description
With clear, simple instructions perfect for beginning and experienced knitters alike, this handy, fun reference offers three fundamental bag patterns that can be adapted in a variety of ways. Taking knitters step-by-step and start-to-finish—beginning with how to knit the purses, then how to felt them, and ultimately how to embellish them with buttons, beads, weaving, needle-felting, and embroidery—this guide is perfect for personalizing accessories, either to match individual personalities or even outfits. Tips for circular and double-pointed needles make the bags appear seamless, giving them a professional finish, as dropped stitches disappear under forgiving felt techniques. Both stylish and sturdy, these purses are perfect for crafters looking for new ways to explore their creativity or for those new to knitting and felting yarn.

From Booklist
The “secret is the wool yarn,” says Beattie, whose 23 handbags are so colorful and cute they’ll be hard to resist. Crafters must be comfortable with knitting basics, but the bags are easy and quick to construct; there are no seams to sew, and those pesky dropped stitches will disappear during the felting process. Instructions for a variety of embellishments are included right along with those for knitting the bags. Beattie recommends specific yarns, but she does discuss substitutions, and she rounds out her books with a handy suppliers list. Although Beattie’s explanation of the felting process, particularly her stress on using a “40 degree program,” is not entirely clear, that’s a small problem in an otherwise well-put-together volume that won’t sit on the shelf long. --Stephanie Zvirin
