  Jeanette’s creations are modern and edgy, pushing the boundaries of traditional knitting techniques while challenging the knitter to create something inspirational and breathtakingly beautiful.The beaded garments and accessories that Jeanette has created for this collection are chic, stylish, totally wearable, and show off the beads to their very sparkly best. Like tiny dots of light, glass beads can add a touch of luxury to the humblest of fibres, a comforting tactile quality to the plainest knit and as much embellishment to a project as you care, or dare, to add

"Beaded colourwork is the term I use to describe the technique of threading beads onto yarn in a predetermined sequence in order to create motifs or patterns that are revealed as the item is knitted."
