pillows, bags - almost anything at all. These pretty blossoms range

bouquets, from layered petal varieties to scalloped and corkscrew
styles. Some are made of soft, sensuous felt; others showcase
sparkling, eye-catching gold lame. With Epstein's detailed

Cosies are fun and practical. They can be used to keep tea-pots,
cafetieres and eggs warm and make a great display in the kitchen. All
the tea-cosies, except for the Baby Ribbed, fit a 4 cup teapot. Each
cosy comes with a full set of instructions and can be made in a
weekend. Charts are included where necessary and the more complex
stitches are explained in the knitter's notes. The designs are inspired
by nature with colours that can be adapted to your individual choice.
For all these patterns Rooster's Almerino Aran is used, partly because
of the coloours and the way they blend together, and also because they
are made from natural fibres. The yarn is a standard gauge so could be
substituted by one of your choice. The author is an experienced knitter
with many original designs to her credit. She also runs knitting
workshops and can often be seen at craft fairs and exhibitions around
the United Kingdom.

Britain has more native breeds of sheep than anywhere else in the
world, providing a valuable source of wool for feltmakers. The
characteristics of these breeds vary widely, making some more
suitable for felting than others. Aimed at all levels of
feltmakers, this helpful guide explores a selection of native
breeds, and explains how their wool can be used successfully to
create a variety of types and weights of felt. The book gives
detailed information on each breed of sheep and then advises on
their suitability for individual projects. It covers combining
different wools, and blending colours to create colour and texture
and includes how to work with raw fleece, and how to dye wool and
felt. There are over 250 photos which illustrate a wide variety of
felted projects.
