At the moment I am missing an evening's style, one of my own patterns that's got pattern diamonds all the way up and I don't know if you can see it very well, but in the diamonds that have the pattern in them I'm also adding beads at these four points. I just thought I'd do a short video to show you how I add the beads. So basically what I'm using is this is all from the Shatlands, it's one ply cobweb weight, it is a mixture of lambswoll and wall from the Shatlandship. I'm using these lace needles, they've got a very nice point on them which makes it easier to pick up the very fine wall. These are the beads I'm using, they're 18 Japanese, clear, they're actually quite nice and shiny. To work the bead I just drop one, to work the beads I'm using one of my Ari hooks, which is actually a hook from broodering with beads through cloth, it's just a very fine graze hook. Basically what you need is a hook that you can feed the bead onto like this. So you need the shaft of the hook to be able to go through the bead. So what we'll do now is I will just knit up to the first point where a bead goes and we'll start the camera again. Knitted up to the point where I'm about to add a bead. So let's just... Okay so it's the three stitches and I want to bead on this center stitch. So you knit the stitch that you want the bead on. You grab your tambour hook, crows your hook or Ari hook and pick up a bead on your hook. Slip stitch off your knitting needle, grab the loop with your hook and slip the bead on. So there is the stitch with bead and you take the hook out and pick up the stitch again. So there it is underneath the stitch on your needle and then you just knit the next stitch and keep on knitting until you get to the point where you want to insert the next bead. Because I work with quite fine walls, as I said this is a cobweb weight. I needed to find quite fine hooks and I use rather fine beads. If you're knitting in a thick yarn, like a four-ply, five-ply, eight-ply, then you'll need bigger beads so that they suit the fabric that you're creating and you can probably use a normal crows your hook. The beads that I use and the yarn I use meant that I had to go hunting for a hook that was small enough to do the job. Now I found mine, I did some research online looking for beading hooks. Actually I think I started out with and ended up finding tambour hooks and videos on how to do tambour embroidery which led me to Ari embroidery which is basically the same thing but it is the version that has done in India and found you can buy these hooks. I got a set of five from a store on Etsy. They're quite reasonably priced. They've got the plain steel, they've got the coated, this is like almost like a coloured string around the end to create like a handle and they also have some with timber finishes on them. Very, very useful for what I'm doing but as I said if you're using thicker wool you can probably use a normal crows your hook. I just when I'm doing this in the evenings I set this container with my beads on my knee and then just when I get to the point where I need a bead I get the hook and I just skim it along like that in the container and pick up the bead. I get your hook and you just skim through the beads like that and there you go I've picked up a bead it's right there and you may have to do that couple of times before you pick one up that time I didn't get one. There you go and now I've got three so I just hold the bottom one and let the other fall off the hook and now I'm ready to put the bead on the loop on my knitting. So that is how I do beading.
