5.0 out of 5 stars All kinds of techniques using bead in knit and crochet, 13 May 2004
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Ok, knitting and bead fans, this is for you. First off, this is a book with both knitting WITH beads and beaded knitting (The former is knit fabric embellished with knit-in beads, the latter is fabric OF beads, with thread holding them into the mesh. No yarn showing.) Most of the projects are knitting with beads or even sewing them on, but Chapter Five is all beaded knitting. Some space is devoted to embellishing with sewn-on beads.

The projects are varied--something for everyone from jewelry and bags to socks to sweaters. There are many pages devoted to different techniques--so despite a good selection of patterns, this book encourages the knitter or crocheter to go out on their own.

A selection of projects:

1. A plum colored crocheted beaded vest. VERY impressive.
2. Several beaded scarves
3. A "Grace Kelly" collar in champagne color, almost Victorian looking.
4. Quite a few bags including some totes, some evening bags and an amulet bag in beaded knitting.
5. Pullovers--cabled with beads, and a faux-textured knit with beads replacing the texture stitches (hard to explain, but it's very graphic looking and interesting.) A linen African-looking vest in neutral shades with oblong beades.
6. Socks, hats
7. Two Forties-looking short sleeve blouses with beads
8. A wide-collared paillette (big flat sequin) top that looks like the wide off-the-shoulder styles out now, but harks back to the Fifties. This is crocheted.

I think Lily has outdone herself here. These designs are fascinating. And it's not just projects-- the instructions to design your own bead work, including some bead chart paper, are unique among knitting books. I think this book is a must for any serious knitter's or crocheter's library.
