Seasons of Lace

As you may or may not know, I’m in the midst of an annual road trip to my mom’s in Maine. We’ve arrived safely after a week of driving and visiting and generally having a good time.

While I’ve been playing and driving, folks have been continuing to lend their support to our KAL.

Twisted Fibers has joined us as a sponsor (if you’ve not popped over to the Sponsors page, you really ought to do so. I’ll wait while you look). Please do take a look, and shop appropriately.

Meanwhile, my most recent hostess has also joined in, sending me along with a lovely prize . Again… if you’ve not looked at the Prize page lately… hop on over and drool a bit. I’ll wait.

I’ve been sneaking in a bit of knitting…. and even made some beading progress last night after the final leg of driving. (That four hour stint felt like it took as long as the eight hour leg…).

This is a bit of Willow, resting on Chrysopolis’ chart.

I know it looks like there’s a bit of uneven-ness in the beading.  I’d thought about beading EVERY decrease in this mesh, but decided that in the end, that would not only be too crowded, but I’d run out of beads.  Since I bought the beads at Stitches over 2 years ago, I’m pretty sure that more that match would be more of a challenge than I’m up to…  It WILL make sense once the section is finished though.  Really.  It will.

Besides, this section represents a running stream.  We can’t expect water to look uniform, can we?
