Love this colorway... I'm knitting a little shawl with it, and the colors are gorgeous!

Wait until yu see the beads... I had to rip back to my life line, running out of yarn too quickly, but that was what the pattern called for... I shouldn't have added the extra pattern repeat... I'm back to knitting and should be up to my stopping point later tonight.

i can't wait! i've only done one project with beads (and I finally got a teeny crochet needle to pull the beads through) so i'm always eager to see what other projects look like!

I use the crochet hook method, too... I use a 1 mm.
