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!

I love it. It looks really nice, Kate! (love that ring, too!)
Yours looks great (I linked over here from Whit's page)! I love the colors combo you choose and the extra beads look great.
I did mine on circs... I am at a standstill with the second because I am so frutstrated with the first row of the first ruffle.. I will get it done though, I can't wait to wear them around!
the pics do not do them justice, they are fabulous!!!! and in real life they are such a snappy golden swish...all sparkle....love them!!! now to finish mine.
Those are so pretty! I didn't really get the Beeton love from the photos on Knitty, but yours look gorgeous.
Very pretty! I love your yarn choices and the beading looks fab!
Fabu! What yarns did you use?
Love your Mrs. B!
I love yours - and you're right, such a great project with so much interest!
Just lovely! I recently finished two sets of Mrs. Beeton as gifts. Since I'm a new knitter, I decided to knit them flat -- much easier for me and not really much seaming to do. For one set, I used Alchemy Synchronicity in color Dragon with Kidsilk Haze in Jelly -- such gorgeious, glowing colors, hard to part with!
