"It seems that almost every knitter has tried shrinking her knitting in the washing machine over the past few years, and why not? Knitted felt projects knit up quickly and are fun. We bring you an exciting preview of just one of Maggie Pace's twenty stylish, contemporary projects from her new book, Felt Forward, available from Interweave Press in October 2007. This project uses one of her innovative felting techniques, knitting onto rings and felting to create unique shapes. "Pick Up Sticks sushi kits come with enough 'ingredients' (yarn and zipper) for one wallet knitted from three possible patterns provided in the kit."
