Knit With Beads: Beautiful Gifts
by Scarlet Taylor
“Give your knitted gifts irresistible glimmer and shine.”
As Scarlett Taylor points out in the introduction to Knit with Beads: Beautiful Gifts, “Gifts and accessories make wonderful knitting with bead projects. Often requiring only one skein of yarn and a day or two to knit, they are perfect for busy moms and knitters with demanding careers who want to make something special for family and friends.”
Taylor gives eighteen projects an irresistible shimmer and shine in the sequel to Knit with Beads: Stunning Shawls and Wraps. Once again, she offers designs with a little “bling”, and easy, step-by-step instructions of a variety of creative techniques for knitting and embellishing projects with beads.
And, of course, these solve the gift-giving dilemma for a number of occasions. A beautiful felted clutch is the perfect present for a teenager’s birthday. A stunning (unisex) urban messenger bag makes a terrific graduation gift. A fun and funky throw is a welcome housewarming gift for a young couple. A precious photo album cover will be a treasure memento for a mother-to-be. And a bride-to-be will absolutely glow in Taylor’s exquisite bridal gauntlets and garter, knit with gorgeous ivory mohair and accented with delicate faux pearls. Not to forget the hats, socks, mittens, and sachets for holiday giving.
Including projects simple enough for beginners and pretty enough for advanced needles, Taylor’s designs are truly Beautiful Gifts for friends and family.
