So far I've made mittens, slippers and bags from this book and they are deceptively easy. Don't be put off by felting! It's so fun and the end results are great.

Good introduction to felting (for me). So far, I have successfully made and felted two small purses. Instructions include very useful information on needle size as related to yarn size as related to finished item size; on hand felting vs washing machine felting. The instructions are clear, and the book uses a consistent format for showing supplies, guage, hints, etc.

Worth the price of admission for the moccasin pattern alone! The photography is gorgeous, and the patterns - like all Bev's patterns - are wonderful.
