What appeals to me is the ability to make more geometric patterns that I seem to be able to do freehand.

I have recently started beaded knitting and find myself entranced by all things beaded. I want to learn them all!

Weaving fascinates me. I weave fibers on and off looms. I look forward to learning more beading techniques past stringing, crochet, and cross stitch with beads.

I’m a new beader, and weaving is definitely the most appealing to me, possibly because I weave fibers in many forms as well. I’d like to learn enough about bead weaving to combine the two arts.

Beads just add the BLING to my work, I have been working on incorporating more into my feltwork!

I love the textures of Herringbone.

I love all things beaded and herringbone is one of my favorite stitches to use in CQ. Imagine the damage I could do to my DH’s pocket book by combining the two into one art form and restashing! Please…pick my number, lol. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

I am intrigued by weaving with beads! I am an avid knitter and some of the most gorgeous pieces have glass beads in them!! It would be so nice to actually learn techniques to do that! I would also like to get into making jewelry and this would be a perfect beginning! thank you for such a nice offer!

Bead weaving allows me to create something that looks and feels organic from inorganic materials. The color and size variety in beads makes the possibilities infinite!

I would love to win this book. I haven’t learned this stitch yet, so it would be a big help. I love your blog title. 🙂
