I really love working with Tweens and Teens. Theirs is a generation that needs to learn awesome hobbies like Knitting, Crochet, Sewing, Etc...or they will cease to exist! I also think they are so fun because they are like little crafting sponges AND obsessed with fashion. A perfect storm in my mind! I'm lucky enough to live in a neighborhood with the ultimate Tweens... Meet B & L They are WAY more up to date on fashion and trends than I am, they love fashion and both are adorable! I'm excited to design a few patterns designed for the trendy teens out there...and here is a little sneak peak. My hope is to not only design the patterns for them in mind...but make them simple knits so that they can knit them themselves!  Jen

So, what is ArtFelt?  Felting has been practiced for centuries and is one of the oldest methods of creating fabric known to man.  In the past it has been quite a laborious task, but now there is a new way to felt that is truly revolutionizing the way we do it.  Let us introduce you to   Artfelt® .  Prior to  Artfelt® , there were various methods of felting, the most popular being wet felting, needle felting, and fulling.   All three methods create a felted material of some sort, but all three also require a tremendous amount of either time or physical effort.   Artfelt®  combines the best attributes of all three methods with a new patented  paper  developed to ease and speed up the felting process.  This special paper  allows one to felt extremely simple to incredibly complex pieces with minimal space and little physical effort.  It allows one to create a felted material that can be thick or thin, precis...
