I took some of the strips I was cutting last week and added a few other scraps. However, people keep expecting me to work at what they want done, instead of letting me have fun. So I haven't gotten very far.

Meanwhile, I started a shawl back in the fall. My Ravelry Project page says I started it September 29. At some point, I made a mistake, put a safety line in and ripped it back. Then I put it in the corner to think about what it had done! Last week, I picked it up again, figured out what was wrong, and started back at it.

It has hundreds of beads, literally!

It is now a race to see if I can finish it, before the nice weather. How is that for optimism?
Super knitting, love those tiny beads. And your fabrics, I like them, is it because the paler floral one is wider? And why not one for your self too. Cheers, Jean.
ReplyDeleteLove your knitting with the beads! Very pretty. Love the fabric strips!
ReplyDeleteThe third strip from the left does stand out from the others.
ReplyDeleteDid you have to string all those beads onto the yarn, or were they already there? It looks very pretty. Last night I sat and wove in ends on three projects that have been sitting at that stage for far too long. One was a sock that needed the toe grafted. I hate doing the Kitchener stitch and have finally figured why. I just never made sense to me. I am left handed and was following right handed instructions. Last night I decided to do it left handed without instructions, just following my instinct of what a knit stitch looks like and it went very well. Hubby now has two socks. yippee.
Thanks for linking up with Needlework Tuesday.
That's a lovely shawl-so glad it's better behaved now!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful knitting! Love all the beads. The strips are nice, but to me the third from the left stands out, maybe because it's wider or a floral print. Have a great day!!

Your stripes look just fine to me, but things I don't like have a tendency to get cut up, often on the bias, and sewn together in a different order. That technique at least makes things interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour shawl looks lovely, the beads are visible but not over-blinging it. Wrap it up in Christmas paper when it is finished and you have a present for yourself ready to put under the tree.
