WIP: Beading

I've started a new project using the awesome yarn I won recently on a Punto Reves giveaway. 

I'm making another dahlia shawl.  (Remember the wedding shawl).  

This time, to mix things up, I'm adding beads!!


I ended up choosing purple, rather than the above colours.
Testy testing beady beads.
I'm using this method of beading - with dental floss!  Check it out, I especially like the use of the word 'scrooches'.

It's going to take a million years!

  1. It's going to be so pretty when it's done. Maybe one day I will work up enough courage to knit with beads.

  3. When are you sliding them on to the stitches? I can put them on with knitting, but I have no idea how to go about adding them to crochet when everything's all closed off.

  5. Possibly a million and a half! ... scrooching down behind my monitor to dodge whatever knitted object is being thrown at me.

  6. I love that method for putting on beads. So much easier than a crochet hook. I love beading now with that method.
