I love to bead as much as the next person but sometimes you just
want to do something different! Spend the day with me and learn
viking knit! It's not hard to do and makes a great addition to your
jewelry pieces. We will make a length of viking knit, patina, polish,
tumble for high shine, and treat to prevent tarnish. You can add
any embellishments to complete your personal design. You can
string it on leather, cord, or chain - it's completely up to you!
We appreciate supplies being
purchased at Beadoholique.
Thank you.
