Book Review – Bath Knits
After a year full of washcloths in the Knitted Kitchen KAL, I gave away most of them but did keep a couple. I'll be honest though, I don't actually use them in the kitchen. I replaced my bath pouf with a knitted washcloth and liked the feel so much better I'll never go back! This, of course, makes me want to knit more fun things for my bathroom. That's where Bath Knits by Mary Beth Temple comes in.

Book Review – Needle Felted Tapestries
With my Felting / Fulling tutorial and Edgewater bag pattern, I've been in a bit of a felting phase recently. Needle felting is a whole different kind of felting. When done on a flat surface, I've heard it referred to as painting with wool. With this technique you can create stunning tapestry designs, like the one pictured on the cover of Needle Felted Tapestries by Neysa Russo.
