Best yet...

I taught myself to bead knit with an old magazine article, waaaaay back when there weren't any books on bead knitting. This one is very nicely laid out, pretty and inspiring, and I think anyone just starting to learn would do well with it. I didn't keep it, because my primary interest is in creating 20's style flapper bags like the wonderful enameled mesh purses of the time, and this book does not contain any useful information on using the little metal snap-frames that characterized them. However, for technique and a launching-pad to design your own (the most exciting part), it's a very nice book--certainly better than any of the competitors available.

Bags of ideas

This book is beautifully illustrated. Backed up with a great dvd. Projects are exquisite. Very easy-to-understand instructions. It would help if some suppliers for the projects were suggested. Even a novice to knitting would be able to tackle some of the designs, with a little help from a patient friend. Very good basic knitting tutorials included.

Really Cool

Hey - I'm an old hippie - I also say groovy. Seriously, the book is fantastic. I have never worked with beads in my knitting and am looking forward to trying this out. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and am pretty limited on how much I can knit (been knitting since I was 18) - not sure I can even knit with such small needles, however, have enjoyed just looking at the purses with such beautiful beadwork and the directions look easy to do. I have not viewed the DVD yet, but will be doing so soon. I am having fun picking out beads and learning obout how to knit with them.

Been looking for a book like this for a long time

This is a very nice little book on knitting with beads. I've been looking for a book on the topic of knitting beaded bags for quite a while and this one explains it very well. The DVD really shows you how to do it. My only complaint (a small one) is that the DVD is a little hard to figure out. It shows how to knit both from the left and the right which is confusing if you choose the wrong one. Also, there is no audio on the DVD, which is ok, as long as you're aware of it. The DVD also contains the patterns in the book so you can print them off to carry around with you and your project. She also provides you with graph templates so you can design your own. Really a useful book.

Bead Knitting Fun

I am not only a bag maker but a beaded bag maker and I did have to learn the hard way from the old 1900 books but if you have been wanting to learn how to accomplish bead knitting this is a MUST have book. It comes with a CD which for me is an invaluable tool to learning. I love everything about this book and CD. It is laid out very nicely and for me everything is very clear and easy to follow. Plus in my opinion the patterns are timeless again this would be a great addition to your knitting library.



10 Small and trendy fashion accessories for both knitters and beaders to make. - complete with a helpful DVD.

Bead Knitted Bags features the historically rich technique of bead knitting - a method of knitting beads directly into stitches to create a dense but supple tapestry-like fabric, in the style of vintage antique beaded bags. With detailed instruction and sequenced illustrations, the author provides clear, step-by-step guidance, complemented by the 20 video tutorials on the accompanying DVD. Each of the 10 projects contains a materials list, detailed knitting instruction, and color-coded graphs of the entire pattern or a repeating motif. Each project has a unique strap, closure, or edging, and the author provides finishing suggestions and helpful hints throughout the book.
