I signed up for the holiday bazaar yesterday, which means it is now Go time (and that green is probably not quite the right choice, but green for go right?).
Go time means full speed ahead on the blanket. No news there. Go time means pulling out the beads and seeing if I remember how to do the peyote stitch. I can go up to Lush Beads and ask L, but I'm pretty sure I remember. Go time means knitting as much for speed as for pleasure.
Go time means pictures.
These pictures:
The crocheted beaded wreath is really easy to work up. I have other similar ideas and a lot of spools of wire that I bought either earlier this year or late last year. The iCord braided wreath isn't hard to work up either, but it is much more time consuming. The peyote stitch bail took me most of 2 football games (the standard time unit of the fall) for maybe 3 square inches of beading. Of course, the reds are hard to photograph, so the stitch definition is completely missing.
I have one more of the knitted wreaths waiting for its decoration and probably a half dozen more crocheted wreaths I can do before the beginning of December.
(and just to be clear, I worked on these because I ran out of yarn for the baby blanket with about 12 rows left to knit - I'm going to pick up more yarn today.)
