Good Crochet Bead Book?

[DREY]

Can anyone recommend the name of a good book for necklaces & purses using beads by crocheting?

 

I don't really want to use the wire.

 

Thanks!

I have a copy of Knit and Crochet with Beads by Lily Chin and I've found it very helpful. It was the only bead book I ever bought, and now I feel confident enough to add beads to whatever project I want, if I think it would look good. It turns out crocheting with beads is a lot easier than I thought it would be, and what I needed was some of the basic concepts and a few pattersn to get started.

 

The book might not be right for you, though. It has 13 knit patterns and 10 crochet (amulet bag, small purse, wrap, headband and wristlets, vest, beaded "pockets," necklace, belt, and camisole). It's definitely worth a look, though, because I found it very helpful with the basics and I've made the beaded wrap and it's really nice (and surprisingly easy).

Thanks for the book title - I will check it out.
