Sparkly...

November is flying along, so here's my little project. (Does anyone else feel like they have to do smaller project to keep within the time frame of a month? With 2 kids, a dog, husband, and work - knitting falls to the wayside!)

This project was an amalgamation between two projects from two different knitting with wire books. The gauge wire is 28; needles are 3s. The beads are just a mix of golds, silver, and clear. All materials came from the local craft store.

I thought the project was worth the try, although I much prefer working with yarn. You can't beat the feel of it. I also need to work on my camera skills.

For December I am waffling between an intrelac scarf and knitting with fabric (knitting rag rugs, pot holders, etc.). Gotta decide soon!

Knitting with beads

My November Odessa is finished!
Knitting with beads was about so difficult as I thought... I had to frog several times because the beads did not want to stay in the front, but when I got the hang of it - it was fun!
This is unfortunately for me a Christmas gift, but I will make myself another one cause I like it!
Hey Knit - what about yours?

can I change my September project?

Please please pretty please...! ;-)

I don't know if there's a rule against it or not. I had originally planned learning to knit cables without a cable needle as my September project... largely because another project I want to do is knitting with beads but I didn't think the beads would get delivered to me so soon.

So - today they arrived from Earthfaire:

(shown together with Handmaiden Silken - 1 skein peridot, 1 skein pewter) and with this loot I would like to endeavour the River Rock Scarf by Sivia Harding in the No Sheep for You book (the linked photo by Marianne on the NSFY KAL convinced me to go for beads).

Any objections? :-)
