Post Subject: Beaded handbags
Does anyone have any advice about making a beaded purse? I want to make one for my friend who is getting married, but am not sure how to go about it. I was thinking of trying knit something and either sew beads on it or actually thread the beads on the knitting yarn (does that make sense?) I've looked around for patterns but havent' been too successful. Any advice?

Yarn overs are fairly simple. Is there a knitting store around? Someone who works in a knitting/yarn store may be able to help you out. I know when I have questions, I just stop by my local yarn store.
Good luck!

Post Subject: Bond knitting machine ( Help I am desperate)
Hi I was just wandering does any one have a bond knitting machine?
I have just bought one from ebay, It knits really well but I just can`t seem to get it to knit with chchenille knitting yarn or eyelash wool.
Is it something I am doing wrong or was the bond classic just not made for these types of wool.
I start knitting with it and all this fine then as I get down to the bottom (IE when hem is near the floor I am trying to make a scarf) it starts dropping stitches, I find them very hard to pick them up as the stitch is hard to find with the type of wool I am using.
This has been going on now for about 5 days and it is driving me mad. All I want to do is make a scarf and at the moment I am really thinging about relsting it on ebay ( I know it sounds drastic but I bought it so I could make loads of great things with this yarn I have just bought about 70 balls of it.
Any help at all would be greatly recieved.
