This review is from: Bead Knitting [VHS] (VHS Tape)
After years of wanting to figure out this teechnique, at last I found someone else as crazy as I am who has managed to do it. This video comes with a chart and materials list for making your own bead knitted drawstring bag from 11/0 beads (the size most readily available in modern beads.) Alice Korach gives a concise review of knitting techniques and then shows you how to make your own bag, step by step. She employs a technique to eliminate the bias in your work (the tradeoff is that the beads alternate directions every other row, creating a herringbone pattern in their orientation-- all the antique bead knitted bags I've seen have the beads oriented in a single direction.) Korach's instructions are clear, precise, and easy to follow. If you don't know how to knit well, Korach recommends that you use "Mary Thomas's Knitting Book" as reference for knitting practice (I heartily concur, as knitting with beads is slow and difficult, and it's well worth learning to knit decently first!) I'm just in the preliminary stages of mastering this technique, but feel like I can proceed with confidence thanks to this video.
