top view... came out real nice :)



and then here is Samus... i loved knitting it but am lazy sewing it together, more pic will come up as soon as it is all assembled




here is a close up of the left lower border... it really is wow



and finally the Lace Pi Shawl. ( link http://floryknits.com/fp-lacepi.html )

i had started it with a different yarn, and thankfully realized that it was a wrong choice as the yarn was a little bulky for a shawl. froged it and started again with light weight yarn, used to knit for infants.



i tried clicking it indoors but the results weren't good. I am not happy with the pic taken outside, but they are okay. Had to stuff a pillow inside to highlight the lace pattern.....



and here are the beads i have used. they are small ones, my first ever, no rather second bead work. I had made a cardigan with beads, and i had put all the beads on the yarn and then made the cardigan. In this shawl i am putting beads on individual stitches ( will put more pic on how i am doing this).

i had bought bigger beads, but went for smaller ones fearing the weight of the shawl would increase and wasn't sure if the color of beads would go. White, off white or pearly white goes with most of the things. ( for some reason .... unknow to me, the pic has come rotated )



there are few changes i have made to the pattern. i shall not be making it as long as the pattern in the charts suggest. at present i am on row 152 ( chart 4 ) and from here i shall jump to row 170 and end the shawl ( sooner ). Reason being.... i have enough yarn for this length and didn't want to frog later if i fall short of yarn (had bought it on sale so its difficult to get more in same shade and lot ).

and i also plan to put beads on the lace border... lets see how many and how frequent.


i feel i am now addicted to beads, and now i am also looking to put beads in my next project, for which i have selected the pattern and fished out yarn form my stash.

I shall be posting more pictures of this shawl soon, a day or two. and the progress of the lace border i would knit.

please do leave a comment and / suggestions for my inspiration and improvement of the blog. i still am new to blogging and there are many features i dont know. would love to use them :))
