| I made a necklace using copper colored silk thread and beautiful copper delica beads a few weeks ago - and now I am hooked. I would love to see more patterns using thread to light weight yarn and incorporating beads. They are so much fun to use, and really dress up anything you make. |

Sounds like you have an opportunity to design some pieces.

Earth Faire sells some gorgeous kits/patterns and beads for knitted jewlery. Also offered are patterns, yarns, kits, and beads for knitted items like shawls, hats, socks, etc. I have found the instructions to be clear and complete. I had not knit with beads before trying one of the "bead soup" bracelets. Now I'm hooked. She is a terrific vendor to purchase from---answers questions about products promptly and ships quickly.

I was in Michael's not too long ago and saw some books but they were on the bead row. Can I tell you any titles? Nope...sorry, but there were two or three I looked at. Some were crocheted and some were knitted.

Hi, Knit-a-bit. Stay tuned for the new book coming out from Wiley this Fall called NOT YOUR MAMA'S KNITTING>
You'll find some very interesting beaded-knitted jewelry designs in there. I'm planning on designing some if I
ever get the time. Meanwhile, why don't you get us all started???

The spiral knit earrings are really tempting. Thanks for the site.
