Needle Felting
by Anne Elinset Vickrey
I had never heard of
needle felting before reading this book and I was skeptical of the craft
at first. After reading this book however, I see it now as a fiber art
capable of whimsical dolls and sculptures, and also lovely works of art.
Imagination is the only limit to what you can create. As an admitted
novice, I felt this book gave useful information as to the tools, and
how to choose an appropriate felting needle. The two methods for
creating felt are also explained. The five projects begin with the very
simple and progress into three dimensional objects.

Kid's Knitting
Projects for Kids of all Ages
By Melanie Falick, Chris Hartlove, Kristen Nicholas
In fifteen easy projects, from bouncy bean bags to
a rolled-edge sweater, author and knitting expert Melanie Falick teaches
kids of all ages how to knit. Through step-by-step instructions and
candy-colored illustrations, beginners learn the fundamentals: knitting
tools, finger-knitting, and basic stitches such as knit, purl, mattress,
overcast, embroidery, and stockinette.
Kids Knitting emphasizes fun in every step
of the learning process. Sunny paintings by Kristin Nicholas illustrate the
individual steps of each technique. Bright boxes of blues, greens, and reds
explain everything from button-sewing to tassel-tying. Charming photographs
by Chris Hartlove feature finished projects modeled by the creators
themselves--all kids who knit.
Best of all, kids get to keep and use whatever they
make: bookmarks, backpacks, bracelets, even their own set of customized
knitting needles, topped with acorn caps or polka dot balls.

Shadow Knitting
by Vivian Høxbro
Do you believe in magic? If you
don’t, shadow knitting will win you over. This form of knitting uses a
simple technique of alternating rows of dark and light yarn to produce a
subtle patterning that appears and disappears depending on the angle from
which it’s viewed. The mysteries of this clever technique are explored and
refined here by professional knitwear designer and author Vivian Høxbro. As
she did in Domino Knitting, Vivian introduces the basic principles
and techniques through clear, well-illustrated instructions followed by a
spectacular range of projects that include winged shawls, squared bags, a
matching cap and scarf, vests, sweaters, Japanese-style kimonos, and much
more! Each project is accompanied by step-by-step instructions and beautiful
photographs. For your next knitted project, let your knitting needles be
your wand and perform an optical illusion that will leave everyone wondering
how you did it.
