Beaded I-cord Strap

This is a replacement necklace for an amulet bag I made some time ago. The original strap was a simple strung seed bead cord, but was not strong enough. This is a knitted i-cord with beads, done on #8 crochet cotton with #0000 dpns. Warning: VERY LABOR INTENSIVE technique, although it looks very pretty. The beads are inserted into each stitch every third row and are pulled through the knit stitch. If not pulled through, they will end up on the inside of the i-cord tube. Don't ask me how I know this.

Plethora of Amulet Bags

A few of the many bags I have recently knit.

Amulet Bag and Contents

This picture displays the card describing the contents with a cute poem, which I found at Ann's Beaded Crochet Amulet Bags but the link no longer works.

This may show the shape of it better than the front side. 

Black and Gold Amulet Bag

Once again, my picture-taking skills are not up to the task of showing off this beauty. It is black cotton with gold beads. Lovely.
