Precious Treasures KAL (May)

Precious Treasures

May’s learn-and-knit-along project in the Beyond BOBBOL 2014 Series transforms fine, fancy lace knitting beadwork into beautiful necklace purse jewelry.

Come join us to knit Lorna’s Light and stretch the limits on how small you can go with tiny needles, thread and beads.

Lorna's Light Necklace Purse

May’s KAL features a small amulet bag of lace knitting sparkling with tiny seed beads. Carry your tiniest, precious treasures in this miniature purse, or just enjoy the ooh’s and aah’s when you wear it.

Lorna's Light Beaded BookmarkDon’t want to use beads? That’s fine; just omit them. You’ll get a different look than pictured here, but the pattern stitch is so pretty that it can stand alone.

Not interested in jewelry? There is also a choice of 2 bookmark versions included in the pattern.

Knit along this month while trying new things and learning with bonus bit-size tutorials, tips & techniques.
