I love to crochet and I love bags! In this book, there are 20 bags to crochet and then felt.



The felting process is so easy. Since you use wool yarn, you simply wash it in hot water in the washer and after removing, you put plastic bags or newspaper inside to form it properly while it finishes drying.



Making these bags is so simple there are only four basic pages of instructions. This is followed by the 20 project directions. A colored photo with a skill level and approximate size are given first. Then a materials list is provided. The directions for crocheting the item are easy to follow.



The final pages of the book provide a list of abbreviations, a chart for metric and U.S. hook sizes and a yarn type chart. There is also a skill level definition page and a resources page in case you have a hard time finding the supplies. The final page is a short bio about the author.



This is a perfect book for making gifts for Christmas or for keeping for yourself.

Eva Wiechmann's CROCHETED PURSENALITIES: 20 GREAT FELTED BAG offers stylish and easy felted purses which reflect both contemporary designs and simple, functional patterns. What differentiates this from the usual crochet purse book is an attention to the newer yarns and a felted appearance, which differs greatly from the usual open-holed crochet designs of competitors - and lends to modern fashion.
