[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Technique for adding beads to knitting

[Dixie]

The two beaded knitting techniques will give you a slightly different result.

When you string the beads prior to knitting the project,  and the bead is placed  into the work,  the bead will lye on it's side, inbetween two stitches, with the hole in the bead horizontal to the fabric.  When you load the beads individually onto a stitch the bead encircles the base of the stitch and the hole is vertical.

Terry P, that's an interesting point.  I wonder if the 2 techniques produce different looks.

With loom knitting, the easiest way is to put the beads on the yarn, befor starting the project.  This will put the beads between the stitches.   This new method, sounds like it would put the bead, right on the stitch!

I have tried and used this technique, except with a peg loom. I don't use a crochet hook, though...I didn't think of doing that. Instead, I have put a wire on the loop, took it off the peg, stuck the bead on the wire and wiggled it onto the yarn, then. used the wire to pull the loop back onto the peg. I could definitely see the crochet hook making it much easier and I'm going to have to try it now!
Thanks for the tip,
Jewel
Be good. IF you can’t be good, be good at it.
