wip: mrs. beeton cuffs

ahhh, mrs. beeton. so much fun to make. and so much nifty technique jammed into such a pretty package! made the first one during a christmas visit with my brother and his girlfriend laurie, who also happens to be as obsessive about knitting as i am.

there is much to love about mrs. beeton. first, there is not one, but two ruffles. you're supposed to only bead the top one. but i got a little carried away and ended up beading the bottom one, too. it's actually done via a beaded cast-on, which was easier than i thought it would be.



from there, you attach the ruffles by knitting through both ruffles. this means you have six needles going at once! a little cumbersome, i must say.

the last bit is a picot bind-off, another fun technique with oh-so-pretty results.


voila!
