NOTE: We recommend using yarns called for in our instructions.
Every effort has been made to ensure that directions contained in
this book are accurate and complete, however errors do occur. We
cannot be responsible for variance of individual knitters, human or
typographical errors.

NOTE
Before starting to knit, thread the end of the ball
of yarn into sewing needle, then thread all of the
beads onto the yarn. These beads will stay on
your working strand of yarn so that as you work,
whenever a bead is called for, you slide a bead up
the strand and into place and k the next st (or work
a yo as explained in stitch glossary). On the next
row, you just knit the st with the bead.
