Today, I have a brief Book Review Bead Making Lab by Heather Powers, published by Quartos, as of this month. Here is the link to purchase this book through Amazon. Heather has a blog at this link, and a website: www.HumbleBeads.com

If you need more ideas as to why a knitter would be interested in beads, Marly Bird has posted recently a video creating stitch markers on her Facebook page (part of her behind the scenes videos she's been posting as she podcasts). Marly also recommends her friend Jill Wiseman's YouTube channel.
