Beads, beads, and more beads-- part one

Hello blog!

Let me tell you, there has been a whole lotta beading going on!

Threatening Seas

I started with a lovely skein of blue 100% merino. This skein came from the Canon Hand Dyes Shakespeare Club. This was the November skein, inspired by the Tempest, entitled:

Though the seas threaten, they are merciful.






I paired it with a bead blend called "oceanic mix", and a pattern entitled Adelei.


The results were small and bunchy.



But as always with shawls, a good blocking pulled it into shape and brought out all its beauty.


Look! It's a shawl!




Sadly, the beads were such a good fit they hardly showed.


But I still love it.
