This book has good descriptions of techniques to use with beads, but not really any patterns that had my interest.

One scarf pattern that resembles the Victorian beaded scarf is a possibility.

The "it was okay" rating was generous. Too much with sewing on beads. Limited patterns.

This is a fun set of knitted items. I knit the felted hat and have gloves, hats and sweaters on my list to knit.

I've taken this book out of the library so many times that I finally bought a copy for my knitting library. Now I just have to knit from it! ;-)
