Now I knit my ABCs - F is for Felting!

Felting felting felting - it's so in fashion right now! What for years we tried to avoid when laundering our wearable wools - is now all the rage!

Just a year ago you had to scour the stores and internet to find felting instructions, patterns and/or books.

And then, without much warning, there was an explosion of of matted materials. Pamphlets (especially of the complimentary variety) were always out of stock, companies have started marketing yarn specifically for felting, and now, there are a plethora of books with patterns and "how tos".

I've been "hooked" on felting ever since I washed up my first swatch (which "turned into" a soup trivet) and "hat" (which "turned into" a bowl).
