Tendrils...Heavily beaded waving cables adorn this lovely openwork wrap.

Tendrils brings to mind the first tender shoots that appear in Spring. The lace makes it look light and open, but in actuality the stole is quite substantial because of the beaded cables that run up and down its length. This combination gives the piece a sensual quality.

The beading technique is very easy: the beads are simply left to rest between stitches. However, if desired, or if the knitter is a bit awed by the sheer number of beads, the stole could be knit without beads for an entirely different look.

The yarn is strong and equal to the task of holding up the weight of the beads, while very soft and nice to touch. Any substitute yarn should ideally have these same qualities.
