Beaded Knitted Earrings

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Brilliant Knit Beads with Betsy Hershberg »

Instructions

Try to make the knitting tension tight so the bead form does not peek out between the stitches. It's a lot of fun and fast too!!

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Whimsical, Casual


Materials

DMC Polyester Metallic Thread, size 5: size 000 knitting needles and size 8 glass seed beads.

What was your inspiration?

That's an easy question!! My instructor, Betsy Hershberg, of course!! Her teaching style is awesome - energetic, enthusiastic, supportive and totally attentive to the needs of the students. Participating in this online course was like having a private lesson with the master right in my own living room!!

What are you most proud of?

I think I am most proud of having been able to learn an exciting new technique from an online video. Who said old dogs can't learn new tricks??

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have fun, trust yourself and keep the tension even and firm!!

These are great, I have so much embroidery cotton/metallics, what a great idea! I am impressed you were able to make something you could wear straight away.
