Betsy Beads Confessions of a Left-brained Knitter

With only a basic knowledge of knitting skills, crafters can learn to create beautiful, beaded jewelry and accessories using this project book. Issues to consider when selecting fibers, beads, knitting needles, and closure options are all addressed alongside an introduction to basic bead-knitting techniques. Five sections feature more that 30 projects, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, evening bags, belts, suspenders, scarves, headband, holiday ornaments, and a yarmulke. Crafters will advance from creating simple test projects to knitting one of Betsy's creations or designing their own patterns.
