Introducing The Lights: Ilumina and Espira!
These beaded ornaments are knit from the bottom up in the round and then stuffed.
Illumina can be made with one of two techniques, pre-stringing or placing beads.
Espira is worked with pre-strung beads that are slipped between sts.
(You can see more photos of these 2 designs

All the techniques are simple, so start with one, and then try the next!
