BEAD ACCESSORIES
Hi
I saw a lady at Machine Knitting LIVE! at Croydon using an accessory to put beads on to the needles. Can someone please tell me where I can buy one?
Many thanks.
Gayle

Hi Gayle
A fine crochet hook, small enough to thread the beads on works well.
You thread a bead onto the crochet hook, unhook the stitch, slide the bead over the stitch and hook it back on to the needle.
Hope you are successful!
Regards, Sue.

Thanks for the tips and I would like to see the tools in eBay. Maybe it can help me to find an easier way to do this.

Hi . I have a very fine crochet hook which works well.
You put the bead on the hook and slip the stitch onto the hook bringing it through the bead then replace the stitch onto the same latch on the machine .
hope this is helpfull Maree
