Review Wool Toys & Friends: Step-by-Step Instructions for Needle-Felting Fun. Creative Pub: Quayside. 2010. 128p. illus. ISBN 978-1-58923-506-9. $19.99. FIBER CRAFTS This collection of cheery, intricate felted toys focuses on needle-felting techniques but also includes some basic wet felting. The clear, easy-to-follow directions are accompanied by photographs, so crafters can see what the project should look like at every step—essential for three-dimensional projects such as these. Sharp’s technique, especially with faces, is painterly, and the attention to detail in the patterns is extraordinary. These may be designed as toys, but they are also lovely as decorative objects, and many are well within the reach of ambitious beginners. - Library Journal, August 2010 Read more About the Author Laurie Sharp is a full time artist and has been needle felting for over 15 years.

Terrific book on felting wool toys
Terrific book on felting wool toys. Has a really nice variety of different animals as well as a few dolls, which I had not seen before in a wool felting how-to-book. Instruction are clear and understandable. I have not made a toy yet, but am looking forward to trying out this craft.

I've been looking for the sock monkey felting instructions for a while. The book has other fun felting patterns with what appears to be clear instructions. Hope to try the sock monkey soon.
