I saw the picture for this pattern on pinterest and could resist trying them out. Here are my 3 geodes so far:
I ended up altering the oddknit pattern a bit. I do the outside with decreases instead of increases, do the two edge rings as one ring with two colors, then do the inside in one go with a dk yarn held together with embroidery thread with the beads strung on it.
The purple one has 6/0 seed beads, the blue is 6mm faceted rounds, the silver is 4mm bicones. They’re pretty addictive and I’ll have to do more. Not sure what to do with them all, so some may end up in STS this fall.
