$22 single session class
Monday, August 6th at Yarn Garage from 10:30am - 12:30pm
Are they accessories or jewelry? Hard to say but either way they knit up quickly, make great gifts, and fun additions to your winter wardrobe. Wear them for warmth or wear a sparkly pair with a plain black top and you will be dressed for a night on the town. If you missed Susanna Hansson's beaded wrister class in April, then take this class with Lori to create the same pair of beaded cuffs! Don't miss it again!
SUPPLIES1. One skein fingering weight wool yarn (at least 200 yards)Smooth yarn with a relatively tight twist (sock yarn for example) works well. NOTE: If your yarn is variegated, your beads may not showup as well as they would on a solid colored yarn.2. Appropriate size needlesAim for a gauge of approximately 7½-8 stitches/inch in garter stitch with your chosen yarn. Do a gauge swatch at home and bringwhatever size needles you need to achieve the recommended gauge.3. A crochet hook sized to match your needles and yarn4. Two to three tubes of Japanese seed beads in size 8 (or 6)Please buy beads in tubes/packages rather than pre-strung Czech beads in hanks. Make sure that a double strand of your yarn fitsthrough the holes in your beads. Test before you buy! Depending on the pattern you choose, you will need between 350 and 800beads for one pair of cuffs.5. A “big eye” beading needleThis thin, rigid needle will help you string your beads quickly and easily. It consists of two thin pieces of rigid wire, welded together atboth ends, creating a “big eye” opening in the middle.6. Usual knitting suppliesScissors, stitch markers, tape measure, etc.HOMEWORKIf your yarn comes in a hank, please wind it into a ball before class.CO 20 stitches and work in garter stitch for 1-2 inches with your cuff yarn.
