Review: Orlando Sentinel When it comes to needlecrafts, felting may do for yarn what scrapbooking did for to paper and glue a few years ago. Wool yarn is knitted, then washed and shrunk to create a dense fabric that can be cut without fraying (ooh! Where's some indie-emo soundtrack when you need it?). Heartfelt by Teresa Searle (St. Martin's) is the latest in a series of felt project books, and combines brilliant base fabrics with colorful stitching details. It's not a book for the new-to-knitting crowd, but if you can knit a square -- or know where to find old wool sweaters -- a little needlework know-how is all you need. Felted bunny slippers might not be too practical for Florida winters, but Searle offers variety with felt accessories, bags, blankets and barrettes. Felt and felted accessories are hot!

The book starts with an introduction to the processes involved in the projects: -How to make felted knitting by hand or with a knitting machine -How to felt knitting and recycled sweaters in the washing machine -How to appliqué felt motifs using your sewing machine and other simple machine techniques -How to hand-appliqué using blanket stitch and other easy decorative stitches
