Remember the movie "Rudolph's Shiny New Year"? The upcoming holiday made me think of the movie and the movie title made me think of crocheting with beads. (Not any odder than some trains of thought I've had.)
The library has a few titles with bead crocheting:
Designer Beadwork: Beaded Crochet Designs by Ann Benson,
Knit and Crochet with Beads by Lily M. Chin, and
Crochet Jewelry: 40 Beautiful and Unique Designs by Waejong Kim.
Evergreen Indiana libraries have about 20 crocheted jewelry books and about the same amount for crocheting with beads.
Were you to go to the internet, you could find many patterns in www.crochetcentral.com. In the search bar, enter "bead crochet" or "crochet jewelry".
www.crochetnbeads.com has a few free patterns. http://beadcrochet.com has a video tutorial for learning how to do this technique for either right or left hand. http://crochet.about.com/library/aa030197.htm has some basic instructions and www.youtube.com has many videos showing how to crochet with beads and make projects such as a bead rope necklace.
