Beadless in Bowmanville

Four rows.

I am four rows away from finishing Eiki, by Janel Laidman Last night, I looked at my handiwork, and thought to meself, "Self, this shawl needs bling" So off to the bead stash I trotted, with a specific pack of rose coloured beads in mind.

Sadly, 6º seed beads do not fit on doubled sport weight yarn. (SRK On Your Toes Bamboo, thanks for asking) sigh

So, I shall have to forage for some. Tina might have something. Marla might,too.

Meanwhile, I have another project on the needles.

I have been looking at the Dark Mark illusion scarf for a few years, now. I've always thought it would look good on the Man o' My Dreams. But, really, I know better than to launch into a full size project, in order to try out a new technique.

Ravelry to the rescue!

And here I am, rocketing my way through the Maple Leaf shadow knitted dishcloth.

I stressed about this? I feel kinda silly, now.

Also, I may have created something new.
More to come a little later.

Oh, look. I have ferns!

and roses (Explorer series, Samuel de Champlain)

and peonies

The one and only, Miss Sarah Bernhardt!

You're not distracted at all. Are you?
