Practice Piece

When I saw this chart by Anita Artes, I thought it might work for beaded knitting. It does. I like it. I'm making a miniature version of the clutch bag I plan to make for competition. I'm going to try out the lining and construction as well as practising beaded knitting. I think it'll work as a purse or a holder for business cards, so it'll be useful as well as a practice run.

  6. That looks amazing! I love the geometric pattern. Please show us the finished purse too. Will you use a zipper to close it?

    1. I plan an envelope type construction, maybe with a press stud.

  9. This is amazing Jane!!! The pattern is lovely, and your stitch work is very impressive: the edges are particularly straight, I'd have thought the beads would distort them. Your tension must have been very regular... two thumbs up (because I only have two hands ^_^). Is that the same combo size 8 beads + 1.5 mm needles + size 8 cotton thread?
