Buckles & Beads can be knitted entirely from 5 pages of written instruction; or from knitter’s graphs of the bodice, of the sleeves, of the skirt individually displayed for each size with notes saying what to do where; or from an At-a-Glance sheet which is a cross between written instructions and graphs.

My patterns require color-work—but no heavy lifting. The world offers up a broad, fat pallet of colors and texture for you to choose from. I suggest 3 colorways, so easily ignored.

Besides, I know you have a rich, deep, generous stash; come explore it with me!
