Little Knitted Jewels - Annie's
Before You Get Started
If working with beads, findings and wire sounds intimidating, then you’ll find these pages to be an invaluable resource for finding the information needed to get started on creating your own knitted jewelry. The process is easy and only takes a few extra tools and materials.
Knitting Needles
Many of the projects presented in this book suggest using smaller-gauge knitting needles, so choosing the right kind of needle is essential. The most common are wood, bamboo, plastic and metal.
Crochet Hooks
From picking up a dropped stitch to working a decorative edge, crochet hooks are the best friend to all of your knitting projects! Small steel crochet needles, often used with thread crocheting, can also be used to add beads to individual stitches on knit projects.
Beads
Beads come in many shapes and are most commonly measured in millimeters (mm) such as 6mm, 8mm and so forth. Beads are made from many materials such as glass, acrylic, crystal, bone, gemstone, horn, clay and felted fiber beads.
Glass Beads
Felted Beads
Acrylic Beads
Findings
These are what make jewelry making possible. Usually metal, findings include clasps, pins, buttons and much more depending on what your imagination can dream up!
Buttons
Clasps
Pins
Earring Findings
These are posts, ear wires, hoops or clip-on components that attach the knitted jewelry to your ear.
Jump Rings & Split Rings
Jump rings and split rings connect jewelry components, like links or a clasp to a strand, together. They are usually round, 18-gauge wire with a cut in one side. You can also find soldered jump rings for times you don’t want the ring to open.
Stringing Materials
In this book, knitters will be using materials like embroidery floss for stringing and knitting beads. Embroidery floss is thread usually used for cross-stitch and other embroidery projects. It comes in a large variety of colors and is typically made from twisted cotton, but can also be made from silk, linen, polyester or rayon. Other materials used to string beads include nylon beading thread, beading wire, elastic cord and even ribbon.
Jewelry Pliers
Pliers are commonly used for wire and jewelry findings. Some of the common kinds are 4-in-1, bent-nose, chain-nose and round-nose.
Tapestry Needles
These come in a variety of sizes from blunt to fine-point to curved. It’s always good to have a variety of all shapes and sizes on hand for weaving in loose ends, sewing
