Beginner’s Guide To Bead Netting
by Madeleine Rollason
Netting is one of the most versatile off-loom stitches, and here is a whole book of projects so you can practise
and make some great wardrobe-extending pieces. Fancy evening bags, necklaces, chokers, bracelets and more bead
up in no time and look stunning, as well as a needlecase and wallhanging.
Here are some wonderfully clear and explanatory diagrams for old favourites like peyote stitch, circular brick
stitch and right angle weave, as well as the netting. For once, increasing and decreasing peyote gets a mention
with some photos - hurrah! This was worth the price of admission for me, other projects notwithstanding, so you
can learn more than just netting from this book. Several different kinds of netting are covered in here and,
once you know the basics, off you go - it really does seem as simple as that thanks to the wonderfully clear and
colorful photographic stages. Less appealing is the large number of gallery pieces shown, mainly made by the
Saraguro people of Ecuador. The day somebody comes out with a book on how to make these fabulous pieces, I will
be at the head of the queue, but until then more projects and less large and luscious photos of these
out-of-reach items would have been much more useful.
