Sweet Treats has a broad appeal to knitters who are looking for alternative and less time-consuming needle-art projects as well as to DIY fans of recycled clothing, since the majority of the books projects use felt that is made from old sweaters and other garments. The reader will learn how to select the best knitted wool for felting, the best way to full (felt) it, and how to combine this process with a wide variety of other techniques, including appliqu, knitted I-cord, basic embroidery, needle felting, pre-felting manipulation and more. All of the 30 step-by-step projects are cute and colorful, from cupcake pincushions to little monkey hand puppets and a comfy throw with a bird motif.
