Betsy Hershberg is a lifelong knitter whose world was turned upside-down and inside-out when she learned how to bead knit in 2002. As ideas for combining beads and fiber began to take over her knitting brain, she found herself on an unexpected journey which has forever altered the way she thinks about her "left-brained" self and the creative process. She is thrilled to share some of these discoveries, along with unique bead knitting techniques, projects and patterns, in Betsy Beads: Confessions of a Left-brained Knitter (XRX Books, 2012). Betsy also takes enormous pleasure in teaching, helping knitters to reach new levels of technical knowledge, confidence and independence that will free them to explore their own creativity.
