Synopsis

Great combinations have produced a lot of wonderful things-sweet and sour, wine and cheese, T-shirts and blue jeans-and the latest innovative pairing is beads and crochet. Bead crochet is easy and fun, and it opens up a whole new creative range for both crafts. Bethany Barry, a professional beader and teacher, provides a comprehensive overview of bead crochet that includes history, tools, beading stitches, and basic crochet techniques. A dozen exciting projects use a variety of cords and yarn sizes, thicknesses, and textures to create clothing accessories, jewelry, and sculptural pieces. Projects are offered at all skill levels, and each one is presented with step-by-step instructions and simple illustrations, along with helpful hints and tricks to simplify each technique. A colorful gallery chock-full of original work will knock your socks off with talisman necklaces, groom's prayer beads, a variety of miser bags, a Vermont Wilderness bracelet, and much more!

Media Reviews

Knitting and crochet are really taking off so this book should do very well. It combines simple crochet techniques with beads. There are some inspirational historical pieces and the step-by-step instructions are very clear. The bead work section is also good, covering the basic ladder, brick and peyote stitch. The majority of the book comprises projects, most of which are little 'over the top' but they do give ideas for using crochet and beads together.
