Just so it's clear...
Beaded Cuff Pattern
Those bands of exquisite fashion design need some clarity. Thanks to Sarah for pointing this out. In the Beaded Cuff Pattern Row 2 and Row 3 should read:
Row 2: p1, *k2,p1 to last stitch p1.
Row 3: K1, K1c, *p2, k1c repeat to last 3sts, p2,k1.
The last knit stitch is used to sew up the side of the cuff! Thanks for helping us make our patterns better.
Alpaca/Merino Ribbon Cardi
The ribbon stitch pattern was incorrectly stated as a 12+8 pattern multiple. It is actually a 14 +8. Many thanks to Janice for pointing this out. A note about patterns and sizing. This pattern relies on equal increases and decreases in a row. If you have less than the full multiple of stitches due to size, try to incorporate a partial pattern with equal increases and decreases. When this is not possible, simply knit or purl the stitches accordingly.
You asked and we responded!
Many of you knitting the Beaded Shoulder Wrap gave us valuable feedback which was that you would like more hemp yarn in the kit. While there was just enough to make the shoulder wrap, there wasn't that little bit more to play with. We listened, the kits now have an additional 25g of hemp to play with. Thank you for helping make our kits better!
Adding Beads to your yarn...
The secret to adding beads to your yarn involves making the eye of your needle much larger. Thread a piece of firewire, fly-fishing leader or dental floss through the eye and then tie the ends together with an overhand knot. Now, insert your yarn through the larger eye and pick up beads with the your beading needle. Thread on the number of beads as outlined in the instructions before casting on.
