This kit by Swallow Hill Creations is an excellent starting place for a beginner bead knitter! It is a lovely design; simple, elegant and not too taxing on those who are not familiar with knitting on teeny needles!

Terrific instructions not just for the "finger bag" but also for a great beaded tassel, that can be used in a number of ways. The directions for making both the bag and the tassel are written in a very clear and easy to follow format. Basic knitting abbreviations are used, and since it is a pretty basic bag, it is very easy to follow.

If you have ever wanted to try your hand at bead knitting, pick up this kit. Reasonably priced at $23.00, it will be a great starter or a wonderful gift for a bead knitting friend.

The kit includes DMC cotton Perle Thread, 2 hanks of beads, a button and a ring for a holder and a beading needle. Also thoughtfully included in this kit is a Band-Aid, in case you end up poking yourself with those itty bitty needles! Knitting needles and crochet hooks are available separately from Swallow Hill.

Contact Swallow Hill to order this or any of their other great kits.
