If you've ever wondered how to make the supple beaded ropes with gorgeous patterns and designs, then this book is for you. This book explains the basics of bead crochet in great detail, then progresses with more complex designs, patterns and projects. This is the best book available on beginning bead crochet. However, this book is for people who like reading understanding directions; if you need someone to physically show you how do to something, you should take a class (but this book would be a great text for that class).
