Yeah, so it's been a little while. I have completed many knitting projects that I have not posted about here. I'll write more about happened later, but here's a project now! This is Ice Queen, and it is a lace cowl with beads. It's very light and fluffy, but very warm at the same time. It's a bit too warm to wear it now, and it is a bit sophisticated for my casual style, but it was a fun project to work on. I couldn't really put it down. My friend Gail picked out the most perfect beads for this project, and I really enjoyed adding the beads as I was knitting. I couldn't wait to get to a beaded row. This cowl is pretty cool, because you can wear it around your neck like above, or...
You can wear it over your head like so. I don't know if I will ever wear it like this, but if I am really cold I might. This IS a fun project and it moved fast, and I definitely recommend it if you like beading and using super nice yarn (if a little slippery). The only part where I was like "omg when is this going to be OVERRRRR!" was right at the end when I was doing the beaded picot cast-off. That lasted forever. The results are stunning, but it did take me about three movies to get through (not in a row). I was happy to finally get to this one. I remember I bought the yarn for it about 4 years ago.
