Product Description
"Wire Jewellery" explores the exquisite art of using wire and beads or gemstones, with crochet and knitting techniques, to create stunning and unique pieces of jewellery. Step-by-step instructions and photographs show the reader how to make 30 projects, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, tiaras and brooches. All require minimal equipment and are easy to make at home. The projects are separated into beginner, intermediate and advanced for easy use and progression and show the reader how the projects can be developed. A comprehensive, fully illustrated section on techniques explains how to crochet and knit wire, insert beads or gemstones and attach hooks and clasps. There is also information and guidance on tools, equipment and materials.

A friend gave me a copy of this book and it's absolutely fantastic. The designs are interesting and the author gives you loads of ideas for how each one can be adapted to make it your own. I've been knitting and crocheting for years and was looking for some new inspiration - this book has done that.

I bought this book after I became interested in making jewellery and I received it through the post today. I read through the projects and it does have a good approach to crocheting and knitting with wire. However I was a bit dissapointed that there were slightly more knitted projects than crocheted ones. Another problem was that the amount of crocheted projects decreased as the difficulty level increased. Another point was that as the difficulty levels increased, the wearability of the items definately decreased (crowns and tiaras)
That being said, I can't wait to get some materials and make a start on these projects. Another good point to the book is that it encourages the reader to step away from the instructions in the text and to experiment a bit to make different things (e.g. a necklace using the pattern for a pair of earrings)
