Mrs Beetons

They've been started. The beaded cast-on was fun at first, but got tedious as the yarn started curling on itself from all the pulling. Something happened with my join I think, or something got twisted because the first row sort of disappears into the main colour. I can't figure out why, and if it weren't for the beads, I'd just cast on again. I might be able to fix it though...I was too tired to figure it out rationally when I did do it. They're grey and lilac-ish. I ordered the grey from Knitpicks and was hoping they'd be more bluey-grey than they are (there is the slightest green tinge), but it actually looks fine. The small beads are a dark purple, and the larger beads are a clear crystal. I'm excited about them...I'm wondering if they'll be surrendered to my sister or if I'll keep them for myself! Only time will tell. Watch this space....
