Out of about a dozen of these beautiful beaded wrist adornments that I've had the pleasure of knitting, this is my favorite. The colors are enchanting and the bangle has a nice amount of substance to it.

I am an avid knitter with beads. I usually use my tiny crochet hook. The concept of placing beads on a beader to add to my knitting was sort of silly to me. BUT when I found that you can use this beader with your bead spinner SOLD!
Got it yesterday (super fast shipping) and in less than a minute in had 70 - 8/0 Toho beads on my beader (I ordered the small). Then tried it on lace weight worked like a charm. Then feeling brave tried it on light fingering still worked.
Best thing ever. And awesome customer service.

My first bead stew bracelet and I am HOOKED!! Love it. I have gotten so many complements on it. My only problem is having to hide it when I am not wearing it because my daughter will steal it.

this little gem is one of the best tools for you knitting kit! just load it up with #6 beads and speed up putting beads to add some sparkle to your project. much quicker than the crochet hook and no more beads on the floor, love it!

This bracelet is such a beauty, fun to make, and very satisfying. I only used a little over half of the seashells and am so pleased with the results.

This bracelet is breathtaking in person. Photos just don't do justice to the sparkle of the background, or to the rich yet colors of the crystals in all their various shapes and sizes. The piece has a genuinely sculptural quality to it, and quite a bit of eye-catching motion when worn. For my small wrists, I was able to make the band one stitch wider than the original, which allowed me to use up all the thread and the vast majority of the beads. The whole thing comes highly recommended!!

This was much easier to make than I would have thought and took only a few hours to complete. The clasp is my favorite part. Ellen's bead choices are just perfect and blend effortlessly. My only complaint is that the thread is very scratchy, so I lined my bracelet back with ribbon. Can't wait to get more bead mixes to make more of them.

I love this necklace and I love Sivia Harding! I am a member of the Atlanta Kniting Guild. Sivia was a Superstar workshop instructor for our Guild last month. One of her classes was the Moonrise Neckpiece. My necklace bead choice was Moonflowers. It is too beautiful! I could not be happier with the beads or the pattern. It is marvelous and I can't wait to do another!

I got my kits in the mail so fast! I was so excited I made my first bracelet the day I received them: Moonrise on Neptune. GORGEOUS!! I have of course placed another order for more bracelet kits and can't wait to make them and give them out as gifts. You are the best!

This pattern was a pleasure to work with. The pattern flowed intuitively and no markers were needed. I even took this knitting with me on walks, and then just stopped when i got to a bead row. I made it out of Jojoland Ballad and am very pleased with how it blocked and the stitch definition is wonderful. Love the "magic" beads that were picked out to go with it. Perfect accessory for cool summer days and nights.

I could hardly wait for this bracelet to come, so I could get started on it. I finished it last night, and, oh my goodness, is it ever awesome! I'm sure it will cause quite the stir at work today, as everyone has been waiting to see the finished product. I love anything that has to do with the beach and shells, so this has to be my favorite bracelet, so far. I have now made several of Ellen's bracelets, and every one of them turns out exceptional! I am addicted to making these, and they make such wonderful gifts. Enjoy!!!!

Oh my goodness, I was stunned at how exquisitely this piece worked up. So simple to make, so incredibly opulent and lovely...my little girl commented that it looked like pieces she had seen on a class trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I made it as a birthday present for my mother, and now I am seized with the desire to make one for myself as well!

I wore this necklace for the first time today and received so many compliments. People seemed awed when I told them I made it. Ellen's products are so fantastic. I'm really picky about kits and color combinations, but her color sense is phenomenal and she uses quality supplies. I'm officially addicted to Earthfaire!

I absolutely love knitting this pattern. I have knitted it 2-times, the first with an alpaca/silk blend. I also used over 3,000 silver-lined 3mm megatamas, which are optional. The pattern is so easy to understand, having charted & written instructions. The second shawl I am currently working on is in periwinkle sea silk, just like what Sivia used on her prototype. I am again using 3mm silver lined megtamas, but this time I am going to use 4mm silver lined megatamas on the edging, for something different. I know you will not be disappointed in this pattern.

Hi, I found out about your lovely site whilst searching the net some time ago. You were advertising on a site called Knitty. On that Knitty sight was abeautiful pair of Mrs Beeton Wristwarmers, knitted in Cashmerino (Debbie Bliss) and enhanced by a frill of Kidsilk Haze (also debbie Bliss) They are finished off by beading at the cuff and the end of the frill, they are so pretty. I have made so many pairs and sold them (cheaply) to friends at the school where I teach, the proceeds went to a Breast Care Unit at our hospital here in Cambridge. The pattern is still available and I loved evry minute of choosing and putting on the beads. The pattern is still available, wherever you get your yarns or patterns be sure that the best place for beads is here. Happy knitting,
Christine

I received my package yesterday and I have to tell you that I am totally IMPRESSED and I have yet to begin my project!!!!!
From the packaging; that was tied with the same color group as my bracelet selection, to the handwritten little notes, which was an especially nice personal touch; down to the samples that were included in the order of the beads that you have for sale. In addition, I also was impressed by the way you placed the pattern in a plastic sleeve. Those little added touches were noticed and appreciated. I LIKE the way you do business!!
I can't wait to begin the bracelet and will update you on my progress.
Many thanks!!!

This is a wonderful kit and I really enjoyed making the bracelet. I had enough beads to make a second one with a different color thread. I loved the thread that came with it, but it does stretch a bit. The second one (because you provide so many beads) was made with a heavy sewing thread in royal blue, so I have a greenish one and a bluish one. LOL Lovely kit and tons of fun.

I bought this kit as a way to learn how to knit with beads. The instructions in Sivia Harding's pattern are very specific and clear, and the yarn and bead combination was lovely. After finishing it, I feel that I can tackle some of the projects in my queue that involve beads. As a bonus, the project itself is charming, and I just bought two more kits to make gifts.

This was my first Bead Soup kit, and I absolutely love it. I have a thing for dragonflies and for spring colors, and this kit fulfills both. Stringing the beads didn't take long, and the knitting took only part of one evening. Instant gratification! The finished bracelet is just gorgeous.

I loved this project so much I just ordered a second. It was my first time knitting with beads, and the bracelet turned out to be beautiful. I was surprised to see that the beads are on both the RS and the WS of the work, and actually tore out a few rows at first, but after researching, I found that this is normal and it helps give the beadwork some loft. A fun and very pretty project!

I absolutely love the Silver-lined Crystal Megatamas. The way they look before strung doesn't begin to do them justice.
I'm using them on the Hanging Garden Stole by Sivia Harding out of black alpaca/silk. They are gorgeous. They look like little water droplets. I think they would look awesome on anything.

I am thoroughly enjoying Maryella--the kits looked really pretty to me even before I began, and knitting the delicate project with such tiny needles is a delightful experience. It's true that it does take time to thread all the necessary beads, but you can definitely get into a rhythm with it.

The green wavy leaves bracelet was so quick and easy to knit and has gotten raves every time I've worn it. It did turn out slightly small for my wrist but I added a toggle clasp and it is now perfect. My sisters and nieces are receiving knitted beaded bracelets for Christmas. My other favorite was Bead Soup; the variety of beads made it lots of fun to string and wear.
Thank you for the great variety of quality beads. My first attempt was MaryElla and while it was tedious at first I'm glad I stuck with it; I'm now hooked on knitting with beads and tiny needles!

This was my first time knitting with beads, although I've been knitting for 40+ years. It was a delightful experience! The beads are so pretty, and I had only two that were damaged (two stuck together) out of the entire tube! I used the moonstone beads and ecru thread, and just sewed two snaps to the back. Finished it in just a few days and I'm already planning to make one for my best friend in her favorite shades of black (thread) and pink (beads).

The Dragonfly Neckpiece and Bracelet is another wonder from the creative mind of Sivia Harding. Sivia’s patterns are truly unique: this one is a full six pages, and is a thing of beauty itself. It features three color photos and detailed graphics that help the knitter understand the process. Sivia has a real gift for writing patterns with clarity and precision, and her detailed directions are like having a master teacher at your elbow while you knit.
I am a relatively new bead knitter, and had never attempted beaded jewelry before the Dragonfly. It’s a very different project from scarves and sweaters, and I found myself spellbound by each step, wondering what would happen next. I had such a sense of accomplishment when I finished.
The result is lovely and unusual. The Dragonfly set would make a truly special gift if you can bear to part with it!

I have just started knitting 'Maryella' and I just want to say these beads are wonderful. I admit it took a few hours (in front of the TV) to string the beads onto the thread, but I only had 3 or 4 (Really!) out of THOUSANDS that were warped and would not string. I tried to string some 11/0 beads on hanks that I already had (supposedly Japanese and "good quality"), and I found that about every third or fourth bead wouldn't string!! This was so frustrating that I quickly stopped. I will definately order beads for knitting only from this site...all her beads have large, even holes perfect for knitting. And the dental floss beading tool is great. This kit is good quality and I definately recommend it. The knitting takes a little getting used to because of the small needles but it is really pretty simple.
