Workshop Info

Knitting with beads can be a fun way to add a little sparkle or a burst of contrasting color to your projects. Shawls are a wonderful canvas for adding beads, where they can add glamour and help with drape at the same time. This workshop is based on the Charmayne shawl, which features small lace diamonds accented with beads. You’ll learn the crochet hook method of beading (rather than the pre-stringing method). Knitters may choose to add one color of beads or do an entire rainbow. You'll receive a copy of the pattern and a handout with tips and tricks.
