I've just come back from a craft fair where there were some lovely beaded necklaces made with Matt beads and using vintage lace - gorgeous. I'm all fired up! Can you recommend good sites aimed at beginners - I need to start from how to tie the right beginning knot! Thanks

Here is a page with a list of knots used in beadwork. beadwork.about.com/od/otherresources/tp/knots_used_in_beadwork.htm
The site itself, beadwork.about.com has lots of info on beading. Not sure what you're looking for really...

Auntie's Beads (in USA) does great tutorial videos. Also Bluestreak Beads (in UK) is good for instructions. YouTube is your friend Grin hth

Brilliant! I'll have a look this evening. I got a book too at the charity shop this morning. Onwards and upwards!
