Beautiful Gifts: Easy Techniques, 18 Unique Designs by Scarlet Taylor, Bill Milne (Photographer)

Published 2007

It's knitting. It's beading. It's two, two, two craft sensations in one great book! It's Knit with Beads: Beautiful Gifts, the second book in the popular Knit with Beads series. The eighteen inspired projects in this new book include great bags, hats, and socks, plus fun gifts like the Cozy Neckwarmer, knitted with plush multicolored slubbed wool and oversized glass seed beads, the Let It Snow Christmas Stocking, featuring a sweet snowman and beaded snowflakes, and the adorable Puppy Love Sweater, a hoodie with sequined edging. Who wouldn't love gifts like these? Knit with Beads: Beautiful Gifts starts readers off with the basics of knitting with beads and offers step-by-steps for such techniques as bead embroidery, beaded fringe, beaded knitting, slip-stitch beading, stranded beading, hook beading, and bead knitting. Simple enough for beginners, pretty enough for advanced knitters, these gifts will have every crafter making a list of lucky friends and family.
