No Knitting pictures

I have done a lot of knitting but no pictures of it. I promise to take pictures soon. I finished a pair of fetchings. Everything you've heard about these gloves is correct, fast quick knit with wonderful results. I finished a pair in like 4 hours. Still need to weave in ends though. And I finished another shetland triangle, swallowtail, and a chevron scarf that I need to take a picture of.

I also knit a beautiful black Odessa that I have misplaced. I am knitting a new one to match the fetching but want my black one back!

I went Black Friday shopping this year! Haven't been in like 6 years. Wow it was packed but got some interesting stuff.

Finally here is a collage my sister did of my daughter. I love it! Now have to get pictures to her to do one of my Son!

Beaded Scarf II



So I made the beaded scarf from heartstrings for myself. I used a new yarn called Pace. fingering in red. Nice yarn, a little stiff but softened really nice in the water. Blocking now.
I used over 500 yards of fingering weight.



Size: 16.5 X 67 inches.
Yarn: Pace fingering weight in red, 2.5 skeins.
Needles: Size 3 Addi Turbo lace needles
Beads: iridecent red almost 2 full oz.s cause I added beads in the first and last stitch
Time: Took me a little over one month. Started 9/28 or so
Recipient: Me! This was one of the first patterns I fell in love with
When I first started this scarf.
