Beads!

I got tired of waiting for my hook. I discovered that some of the beads have larger holes and I managed to get my size 10 crochet hook through them. When I couldn't find any more that it would fit in, I fashioned a sort of lasso out of wire and used that lol. On my teal one I found the silver beads have square openings and if I turn the hook diagonally, it will just fit through! SO I started beading. I am on the second chart B repeat on the green one, and on the teal one, I just finished the first beading row. They look so much prettier in person but it's night so my pictures suck because of lighting. I can't wait to finish! I want to start my red one, and I'm going to do one in black Kidsilk Haze.

Isn't it fun when you get to start beading? This was my first beaded knitting project and I can't wait to do another one!
Hope your crochet hook arrives soon, I think I got mine from a Hobby Lobby or Michaels store - it was a pack of super small crochet hooks - like 5 different sizes in the package for $7

Ah I didn't think of looking in a store. That's a pretty good deal! I'm so used to buying stuff online I suppose. I've done beading on other projects but always pre strung on the yarn. I like this better.
