I had a choice when it came to picking a WIP to showcase and work on this week. There is something about January that makes me want to start every project all at the same time. So I've been working on my dress, my quilt, and my sweater amongst other things.
However this week I decided to work a little more on my
beaded denim bag. It's another WIP that has been hanging around far too long. My issue with this pattern is that all the beading makes for slow work. In the winter evenings, it is tough to see the dark stitches and in the summer the overdyed yarn seems to stain my hands that much easier. I know I will love the finished product as I love beads, denim and bags. But getting to the finish line is not going to be easy!
If you love beaded knitting, you may be interested in
Debbie Abrahams Bead club for 2012. Every other month, members will receive an exclusive pattern and the beads used to knit that design. The yarn is not included, which makes it a great opportunity to use up stash yarn! I'm tempted but I seriously don't have the time!
I know exactly how you feel! Its really hard not to want to start on all those new things at once, It can feel like there aren't enough hours in the day for everything!
ReplyDeleteooh that beaded bag is going to look wonderful! Its certainly going to be worth all the hard work! x
Beading is slow, I've done crochet beaded necklaces. It looks lovely!
