#cosoknitting proof of concept, using a 5 stitch,, 2 row type nupp.
bottom row, a normal nupp on the right, & beads on the YOs on the left. upper one has beads on the stitches.. so that works.... next up will be a couple other types of nupp. it would likely be easier if i wasn't using wood needles with blunt tips...
@kismatt the reason for the existence of nupps is that knitters used to get paid by weight of the finished object.
