The formerly dreaded beaded scarf is done! I finished it about a week ago but haven't had a chance to block it yet. Hopefully I will get to that tomorrow - finding the space to do it is more of a challenge than finding the time! It looks really nice and has a good weight to it. I probably could have made it longer than I did but I just got tired of stringing the damn beads on the yarn. :) I think it will be best for fall and spring, since the beads will probably end up being a bit cold next to my skin in winter but I'll just have to wait until then to try it out. I already posted one picture of it, pre-blocking. Once it's all nicely blocked I'll get a good picture of it.
Since I finished the scarf I've been focusing entirely on the Garden Plot dress for my daughter. I have one skirt panel done and I've got about 20 rows left on the second panel. I should be able to have this finished in a week or two (in theory). Then we'll see if she actually will wear it. She's gotten picky about her clothes lately, so I never know what she will wear. Hopefully I can get her to wear it once so I can get a picture of her in it.
Once it's finished I will be working on two unfinished pairs of sock and starting on a purple kangaroo.Yes, the daughter has asked for a purple kangaroo. I made a blue one for my son a few years ago that the two of them have been fighting over. Once she has her own kangaroo they can find something new to fight over. Ah, the joys of children!
