I got up early this morning and did some knitting on my new Blooming Fuchsia Shawl and eat smoothy and went to Bishop Center ( gym and senior center and pool etc) and walked for 30 min and took Cardio Exercise Classs. And after lunch I went to Michael’s and purchaed beads for my new shawl and also went to Korean Grocery Store and bought much needed Korean foods. It is so warm and sunny day with 65 degree in Central Ark.

[...] finishing another (shhh – secret) project, and then perhaps starting a new shawl with the yarn and beads I played with last week. Are you knitting this weekend? What are you going to work [...]

I’ve never tried MT ML nor beading with knitting. I liked several you recommended. What am I doing ? I ‘m trying to finish up the 1st quarter challenge – Winter Wonder and loving both the pattern and the MT Pashmina Worsted – it is quite a lovely yarn that I will definitely use again. Hope you have a great weekend Melody

Your pattern suggestions are wonderful – absolutely love the “Bois”. It’s a shame that work takes away from knitting time.

I miss knitting with beads, but part of me thinks it is hilarious that so many of the blogs I read are talking about knitting and beads this week.

I’m working on Boo-Knits Valentine Mystery Knit Along. The shawl is called Temptress.

She has amazing patterns and at a decent price. She uses all weights of yarn and some of her patterns will work with any weight.

Head over to Ravelry and do check out her patterns. It’s worth it, even to just drool!
And yes, I’m a big fan. I have all her patterns lol

P.S. Once you start beading, you’ll be hooked. Check out the floss threader method. I use a beader. Others use a tiny crochet hook. Cheers!

I ended up buying the MezzaLuna series. (which includes the Oaken Dreams). I just bought the pattern club, not the yarn club. I have Loopy skeins that would be great for all of the patterns released so far. This will be a great destash set of patterns for me, and then I can buy more yarn! and more beads too! Yes, I have a bead stash.

I have not used contrasting beads much yet either, but silver lined clear beads go with many colors and provide contrast while being a neutral. Oh, I also used green beads with grey yarn, and I liked that a lot. So I guess that is a way into contrasting beads with yarn–start with one neutral item.

Kim – the $45 is for a series of 6 shawls, not just one. ($45 for one pattern would be a deterrent, for sure!!)

Pattie – true, I’m a matchy matchy person with beads and yarn. I need to develop a little more confidence in my beadwork before I want them contrasting and really standing out! But I look forward to getting to that point one day.
