Essential Knitting With Beads With Karen Frisa Save 55% Now [QiOVy3gK]

This is a one session class: Saturday, August 16th, 1:30-4:30pm

Course Description
Learn to incorporate beads into your knitting. The techniques can be used to add beads to your
shawls and sweaters, to make small beaded bags to wear as necklaces, to make beaded purses, or
to embellish any of your knitting projects. This is easy and fun, and will impress your friends!
We will knit a small sampler purse to learn four different techniques.

Prerequisites
Knit, purl, cast on, bind off.

Skills Learned
Four methods of adding beads to knitting.

Supplies
Approximately 1 oz smooth, light-colored yarn (preferably tightly spun; no single-ply yarn) in
DK or worsted weight; needles in a size to give you a slightly firm fabric; about 30 beads with
holes large enough to allow the beads to be strung onto your yarn; crochet hook that will fit
through the holes in your beads; a tapestry or sewing needle that will fit through the holes in your
beads. You are welcome to bring whatever size beads and yarn to class that you like (taking the
previous requirements into account), but it will be easier to learn the techniques using larger
beads and yarn; worsted weight wool yarn and plastic pony beads work well.

Homework
With yarn and needles listed under "Supplies," cast on 23 stitches. Work 26 rows in stockinette
stitch, ending with a wrong-side row. Leave stitches on needles and bring to class.

Ages 15+
