Felting 101 & Embroidered Felted Backpack Pattern PDF

I've added a new page to the blog with lots of information about felting (aka fulling), including tips for successfully felting knit or crocheted projects. Even if you're not new to the crafty art of felting, you might find something interesting in the article Felting 101. To give felting a try, check out these felted crochet projects, including my new pattern for an embroidered felted backpack, just in time for fall.
