Beaded Bootie Sock: (sport weight wool)

 Set up in 1X1 ribbing on 48 slot cylinder.  Knit selvedge then 15 rounds of ribbing.  Transfer rib needles to closest cylinder needle leaving remaining 24 needles in work (every other slot).  Knit 2 rounds.  Place an appropriately-sized bead on every other stitch around cylinder.  (Thread bead on a spare needle; remove a stitch from machine needle & slip bead on it; replace stitch on cylinder needle; push bead down below inside edge of cylinder.)  Knit 2 rounds.  Attach tension spring to tighten stitches and knit 4 rounds.  Work heel.  (On the 48, I used six needles from the side hash mark as the end of heel shaping.)  Knit 5 rounds (newborn size) or more (up to 10) for foot.  Repeat heel shaping for toe.  Leave long tail for closing and knit off on scrap.  Repeat for second bootie/sock.   Kitchener toes closed.  Felt 5 minutes in washer and shape to dry.
