This book is a one-stop-shop for information about incorporating beads into knit or crocheted pieces. Lily Chin always presents her knowledge in an expert manner, and this book is no exception. It is a valuable addition to any knitters' or crocheters' libraries.
It's hard to praise this book too highly! It's full of beautiful, wearable projects and gives plenty of background so you can apply the techniques employed to your own creative endeavors. I was thrilled that Lily Chin put out a book focusing on the use to bead embellishments, since beads are my favorite thing, and she incorporated them so well with the great needlework she's known for.
