This is a great pattern, easy and it looks great. It came from Jane from whoduknit. Lots of beads, so they need to be pre-strung, which is tedious but much faster than trying to using the crochet hook method.

The yarn came from Vigdis by way of the WhoduKnit prize locker.

Jane said that she would have done more than 9 rows of beads, so following her suggestion, I split all the beads I had into two piles and figured out how many rows (12) of beads I would end up with . . . this is what I had accomplished through last evening (Sunday, August 23). Not too shabby, especially considering that we were gone for most of the weekend and I was doing the driving so I didn't get any knitting done.

So, I have all these little projects that I am working on . . . . Cloth of the Week . . . . squares for the afghan . . . . and whatever else I have in bags, tucked away, etc.

Someone on, I believe, Whoduknit, or MyKnittingCircle who recommended working on something for 12 days. I don't recall why 12 days. Anyway, I have decided to work on something for seven days (unless I am seriously under a time crunch or so totally infatuated with the thing . . . do you like how I have given myself an "out" to my own rules . . .). I started stringing the beads for this last Wednesday, August 19. I am going to count start working on it though as of Thursday August 20 (another "out"). (So, since I didn't get to work on this most of the weekend, do I add onto the number of days per project based on actual knitting days?)

It is for a friend as a gift. She does appreciate what I do and I know she will just love this scarf.

The only thing is that the edges are kind of raggidy, so I think I will have to crochet a simple edge along the whole thing. It will finish it nicely.
