Jan Zlendich - Library Journal French designer Horvath here provides patterns and how-tos for creating 16 adorable felted animals. She begins with an overview of needle-felting supplies and techniques, as well as basic hints and tips for shaping different types of animals out of wool, then proceeds into more specific instructions for a variety of cute critters. The directions for the individual animals are on the skimpy side; although experienced felters would likely be able to follow along, those new to the craft might find themselves frustrated by the lack of step-by-step instruction and illustration.
