Update

Been having a great time buying beads, LOTS of beads. Told myself I was filling out my 6/0's for when I make goodies. But somehow I don't believe that anymore, they just kept jumping into the cart. Definitely too many for filling out the bead trays.

Then there were the Rocailles.... yeah. Then there were duplicates.

I admit it, I LOVE BEADS! TeeHeeHee



Here's a quick update from the YF side, because there's more what? AYUP,,, more beads. Gonna have to get a mug with that on it.

Kelp Forest 
Is in sample knit almost ready, will open first. This is a heart shaped shawl which started from some beads I saw. And see... we're back to beads. 

This shawl started from these beads on the left. I got them off of Etsy. Only thing,,,, they came in much less muchier then the top photo shows. The bottoms more accurate.

What'd I do? Bought more beads. They came in and while knitting I realized we'd need a whole lot more. So what'd I do? Bought more beads. In the photo at right you can see some of those duplicate boxes are stacked.

Dragon Meldy Deep
This is the shawl which is actually shaped as a dragon. The CBP is his body, then left and right wings. Made with 50/50 silk/merino in DK weight. Surprise! Some beads and some fun and different beads come with this one.
The colors are:
Purple & hot pink
Teal & spruce
Red like Bloody Hell only different reds.
Silver but more brown silvers then my normal silver.

Georgiana
Yes of Pemberley but this time I don't feel the need for beads, shocking! This stole is made in Milky Silky and has cables, lace and haystacks that start at the bottom and work their way up to the top. Gorgeous main floral and side floral vine. You will love this one, it's what I was calling Glorious.
The colors are:
Parchment-pale-med brown
Seafarer Seaglass
Champagne  Sort of a yellow/orangey color
Robins egg, lilac, seaglass and silver? poured down it alternating. This swatch did me in, something like below.

Enough outta me, time to dye. Have a great week.
