Crocheted Pursenalities: 20 Great Felted Bags

The finished purses are beautiful and very current. The pictures are great. The down side of this book is that all the patterns are VERY yarn specific and usually call for at least 3 different types of yarn. (with various percentages of wool content) Also, in order to achieve the finished look many embellishments are required, i.e. decorative stitching, groments, hardware and the tools to use the hardware. Even a pattern titled EASY required 2 different types of yarn with very specific wool blends to go with the felting yarn. The finished purses look great, but anyone who felts knows if you change up your blends you may get a very different result. I plan to use this book as inspiration to create my own ideas. I will not attempt to following the patterns.

You need to be a pretty good crocheting to attempt this but it's a great book.

I love felting and wanted some unique patterns for purses. This book is AH-mazing! I have already made 3 of them :) I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to felt. The directions are clear and easy to understand. She gives good tips on the felting process and even has a list in the book of where to buy the exact yarns she used for each project in case you also want to use them. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

I started making knittet feltet bags since 2007 so I needed insperation to make changes to my design, and also currioursity to see other designs, so I orded this book because it seems interesting.

I got this book for my sister, who was jealous of my ability to knit and felt purses. This is the only book I've ever seen that shows how to crochet purses that will then felt up into a pleasing shape. Great instructions and some really cute designs, too.

I have not had time to knit anything from this book. The illustrations seem to be very clear. I will know more when I can actually pick a pattern and crochet the item.

I have several knitting and felting books, but am better at crocheting, so this book is a must. Cite ideas and different experience levels. Can't wait to start!

I love Eva Wiechmann's purse books.. I highly recommend for all knitting levels. Will continue to look for more Eva ...
