This class is a virtual cornucopia of beading techniques in knitting.  The Aquitaine Cuff is an elegant handless glove with a heavily beaded hand covering that includes ruffles, lace and twisted stitches, and a slim, ribbed cuff that can be wrist or elbow length.  The overall effect is Victorian charm.  Up to four different beads may be used and many design options are given from simple to complex.  Students are encouraged to make their own modifications for a completely unique work of art!  The cuff is knit in the round with your choice of double pointed needles, 2 circulars or 1 long circular.  You will learn all skills necessary to complete the cuff during the class, however you will probably not finish the cuff within the class.

Knit a beaded baby sock that will be fit for a prince or princess.  Exciting things happen when beads are introduced into small precious knitted items, and we will be a witness to this magical process.  We start at the toe and make our merry way upward, employing the gusset/heel flap structure, finishing with a beaded picot at the top. You will learn all the skills necessary to complete the bootie, but you will probably not finish the bootie within the class.
