Bead knitting

I have been knitting beaded handbags for about 10 years. I knitted a wedding purse for my daughter-in-law last spring big enough to hold wedding cards.

For wonderful instructions, purse frames (over 95), beads on hanks and perle cotton, I refer to

I knitted a couple of small bags on 0000 needles with No.8 perle cotton, but since I was doing Fairisle and a little intarsia, I didn't use any beads. My largest bag was five or six inches across. I just made a drawstring to close it. but that was fun - I downloaded instructions for fingerloop braiding and used five different colors, one for each loop.
