Magazine Article - Felting Tutorial by ... me!
As you know I enjoy crafting in my spare time. One of my main textile passions is the art of felting. I can let you in on a little secret that I'm quite excited about. I was approached by Yarn Forward to write a tutorial a little while ago. Its a fresh and fairly new magazine based in the UK thats packed full of all things woollen and doing very well. As I'd initially thought, its not just a knitting magazine, but so much more. There are craft items suitable for a range of abilities throughout the magazine. I'm not a knitter yet when I opened up a copy that was sent to me I managed to lose myself in the pages for a good hour or two, several times, so I was delighted to take up the offer of writing my first ever freelance article for Yarn Forward.
My item is based on the art of felting, but thats all I can say at this stage until the magazine hits the shelves in a week or two. I can't wait to get my copy in the post and see what my first paid freelance writing gig looks like in the flesh.
How exciting for you Rebecca! This is terrific news ~ I've never tried felting either, although I have seen some beautifully creative applications.
