Knitting + beading = simply stunning!
Plain knitted shawls often look like Granny made them. Plain bead jewelry doesn’t keep a crafter warm on a cool evening. But when two great crafts—knitting and beading—are combined, the results are fabulous! Large or small, faceted or polished, subtle or vibrant, all kinds of beads can be worked into knitted designs to add color, texture, sophistication, and sparkle. The Knit with Beads series introduces all the materials and supplies needed for knitting with beads, along with simple illustrated instructions for a range of techniques, including bead embroidery and beaded fringe, beaded knitting, slipstitch beading, stranded beading, hook beading, and bead knitting. Stunning Shawls and Wraps offers fifteen exciting patterns, with styles ranging from classic to funky, from dressy to casual. These wraps are easy enough for beginners, with plenty of hand-holding and clear explanations, yet sophisticated enough for anyone headed for the office, dashing to a weekend brunch, or stepping out for a night on the town.
