Bead Knitted Bags, Vol. II by Cindy Hulsey Cindy follows the same format as Vol. I for instructions so you will easily be able to make these more advanced bags as a follow up to the beginner bags. There are five bag patterns included, two have metal frames, one has a satin cord strap and the other two are amulet drawstring bags. The drawstring bags are cute chunky little bags you just know you want to touch and wear. The honey bag has bead loops that hang loose between the swag loops of the bag. All the bags are "swag" style. The bag with a satin cord has a flip over flap opening. Information and tips about frames and linings are included. Frame size is identified for each bag requiring a frame. Instructions for each pattern are explained in a user friendly manner for beaders and others new to knitting. Each instruction page explains every step including how many rows of beads you should have in each segment and other helpful information for those new to the knitting world. If you have been thinking of trying bead knitting and know the basics of thread knitting, then I would advise you get Vol. I and follow up with Vol. II of Bead Knitted Bags for ease in making your first bead knitted bags. |
