I'm always amazed at what people do with beads, especially when it's outside the realm of jewellery. While I can't knit beyond the very simple stuff, like scarves, I do like to do kumihimo and have taken a couple of felting classes.
I absolutely love what this show has to offer! If you like to work with any kind of fibre - yarn, silk, roving - then this show is for you! And yes, BeadFX will be there!
