Class Description:
Many knitters avoid knitting with beads because they think it is going to be tricky, but in fact this couldn’t be further from the truth. Knitting with beads is an age-old art that can be done in many different ways. Julene will guide you through learning the basics of knitting lace and attaching beads, as you knit, using a crochet hook. When completed you will have a beautiful, lacy cowl to dress up any outfit. This project will not be completed in one night. I will be available for further support should you need it.
You will receive the Google Meet link 1-2 business days before the virtual class.
