~ Beading yarn is time consuming! And also fun.
~ The pisser of this project is that I can't work on this anywhere other than at home. No way am I keeping an open container of 8/0 glass beads at the theater or in a coffee shop.
~ The photo doesn't do the yarn justice. There are such subtle shades of blue mixed in with the black there. It's really, really pretty.
~ I decided not to knit both halves of the stole at the same time, mostly because the second row of the pattern calls for beading every other stitch. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll knit the second half later.
~ One day soon I hope to train myself out of combining the words "stole" and "shawl" in my head and will stop calling it "Mystery Stall 4". One day.
