Episode 17–A Beaded Hat

admin — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:10:04 +0000

This episode is a long one, and we cover a lot of useful information.

Ellen at Earthfaire has put together a lovely kit that contains just about everything you will need for this project including the yarn, the beads, the floss threader, and the crochet hook. All you need are size 8 knitting needles, and if you’ve been following the podcast, you have those already. You can find the kit here.

We go through stringing and placing beads as well as hooking beads. We’re working on this hat.

The mood bead bracelet, Northern Lights, is available here.

The Slow Bee knitalong is here.

Next week we get our camera woman back so it won’t be so dark and tilted.

In this episode we pick up the gusset of our sock and get ready to knit the foot.

The link to the sock of the month club I spoke of is here, but there are many more like it out there. I favor this one because the patterns are so varied and you learn so many techniques.
