Beading: November 2005 Archives
Lately, I seem to be having a hard time focusing on larger projects (poor Liberty! I feel very neglectful). When I start thinking about something new, I ignore anything that looks like a sweater or a big shawl and go directly to smaller things. While doing my cleaning of a while back, I unearthed a small project (and I do mean small) that I had picked up a couple of Christmas seasons ago while in Ann Arbor.
Size #0000 metal needles. Hmmm. Sounds interesting. And I even have the needles. A gazilion small beads and the opportunity to lose them everywhere? How could I resist? A kit that *actually* includes *all* the parts you need to complete the project? Woohoo! Let me at it.
I have to admit, I can't work on this for very long without getting
a little crazy, so I just pick it up every now and again when the
shinyness of the beads overwhelms my fear of knitting with black string
on itty bitty needles. I'm a bit surprised at what a nice effect you
can get from grouping beads together and how the process works. It's
actually not hard at all, just a bit time consuming to be moving a lot
of beads around.
