Knitting with beads can be a fun way to add a little sparkle or a burst of contrasting color to your projects. Shawls are a wonderful canvas for adding beads, where they can add glamour and help with drape at the same time. This workshop is based on the Charmayne shawl, which features small lace diamonds accented with beads. You’ll learn the crochet hook method of beading (rather than the pre-stringing method). Knitters may choose to add one color of beads or do an entire rainbow.

Emily Wood Designs
Emily learned to knit three times -- once when she was a kid, once during college, and finally about five years after that. The last time, it stuck. She's been designing knitting patterns since 2011 and tries to hit the sweet spot with patterns that are fun and engaging to knit, but also easy to understand. Her patterns have appeared in Interweave Knits, Knit Now, Knitty, and collections by KnitPicks, SweetGeorgia Yarns, and Miss Babs Yarn.
She is an active member of the Creative Knitting Guild in Maryland and has taught workshops up and down the east coast, including at Rhinebeck, Maryland Sheep and Wool, the Georgia Mountain Needle Arts Festival, and the Unwind Getaway in North Carolina.
