The A, B, Seeds of Beading – with
Wendy Troemel
Beads are such a fabulous
and easy way to add drama to your lacey projects. But how do you add
beads to yarn, and just how do you pair up yarn and beads? What happens
when there are no beads designed into the pattern? This class will teach
different methods to add beads to yarn, the most common types of beads used in
knitting/crocheting, and how to look at a non-beaded pattern and plan where
they could go.
Wendy taught herself how to
crochet 13 years ago in order to make adorable baby blankets for her
friends. Upon realizing her mother would never join her with a hook, she
took up knitting 5 years ago and now enjoys being “bi-stitchual.” After leaving
her engineering job in summer 2012, she was offered employment at Sugarfoot
Yarns in Peachtree City, where she not only enables people with yummy yarns and
teaches beginning knitting and crochet classes, but is also the Social Media
Goddess in charge of all things Ravelry, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and
blogging. She is also a moderator for designer Rosemary (Romi) Hill in
Romi’s group on Ravelry. She can be found on Ravelry as wendrish whenever
she isn’t running her 3 kids around to karate, soccer, band, art club, and
academic teams.
