Description

This class focuses on building lace knitting skills and learning how to incorporate beads into your lace knitting. We will look at Nelkin Designs patterns that include these techniques (such as Entomology, Aventina, Ennoble, Winterlude, and Undulating Waves) and then practice on a sampler designed for the class to understand the concepts. This is a technique class that will give the students skills to independently integrate beads into their lace work while taking their lace knitting to the next level. Skills gained in this class will translate over to many of Laura’s patterns in her new book Knockout Knits. 
How to shop for beads, working with prestrung and placed beads on single and double sided lace, nupps, chart reading, how to add beads to existing lace patterns.
