I decided yesterday to try for another medal or two and
Mrs Beeton was lurking on my queue and I then realised that it also was beaded so that was a bonus. Some Beads from the Firesale in Yellow Brick Road matched the purple yarn left from the socks I just finished and it sounded like I had about the right amount of it left to do them (I was almost right, two rows out actually but it's not all that noticeable!) I also had a yarn that would blend that I got in Dublin Woolen Mills.
The beading caused some serious swearing! The beads are JUST big enough so it took a bit of work to get them to go on.

With the ruffle down

with the ruffle up, like I'm wearing them right now. They're warming on my wrists. I think they will look cool ruffle side down under my grey coat.
ETA: The beads are actually have an offset centre, which made them quite good for this, I would use this style of bead again for edging on a knitted project.

They're very pretty, love the beads. You have a huge haul of medals at this stage, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bionic Laura, by my count I should have 13 at the end of the day.
