OOOOoooo! This is just my second time ever to add beads to my knitting. This is fun. You know “shiny…..” I am the personality type that gets easily distracted.
I was nearing the top of my sock where I wanted to put beads onto the yarn overs of the last repeat of the lace chart, so off I went to the LYS; sock and yarn in hand. I was selecting conservative tone on tone purples, delicate pearly whites; when along came Karen who has a particular affection for greens and she demurely commented, “Well, if I were you I would go with a green.” And after all the beads auditioned it was the green that got the most ooo’s and aaahhh’s. I still wasn’t completely convinced but I thought that is what this 24/7 project is all about: Trying new things.
Well again the photos do not do them justice but the greens elevate the socks from a nice looking pair of purple lace socks to something the lilac fairy queen herself would be delighted to wear.
Thank you, Karen.
