Beaded Crocheted Scarf

I have been working on this scarf for a couple of weeks now as I have not had as much free time as usual and even though it is a simple pattern, adding the beads does take more time.

This was my first time using Bamboo Crochet Thread and it is very nice to work with. So soft. But it definitely needed blocking afterwards. I am very pleased with it and look forward to being able to wear this lighter weight scarf. It goes especially well with my silver heart pin, which is available from Silver By Fire, Inc. Yes, I am shamelessly promoting my own jewelry, but I do think they are a great combination!

Scarf in Progress interupted

I am more than half way finished with the beaded scarf I am crocheting. It is pretty but a little slow going. I keep getting interrupted. So much going on and today I ended up puppy sitting. Normally this just means putting her down to play with my dog or in his crate to sleep but today she went to the vet for her second set of shots and reacted rather badly.

This is an Applehead Chihuahua puppy with hives. Poor thing. But the Benadryl really helped and made her sleepy.

And this is what she looks like without the hives. So cute!

Maybe tomorrow I will have more time to crochet. I hope the beads will show up in a photo.

Spider Web Scarf

Here is the finished scarf for Halloween. I think my Silver Witch Scarf Pin looks good on this but can't wait to make the new one I designed the other day. For a better photo of the Witch Pin go to www.silver-byfire.com/Gallery.html

Cards

This week I started on a scarf other than the one I had planned to make. This one resembles a spider web to me and I had leftover black yarn so I decided to give it a try. It is working up fast and should be complete by next week.

I also took some time off today and made some cards. I thought about posting photos but then they won't be a surprise when I send them to friends and family so no photos this week.
