I'm working on some felted items (Brandilyne is too!), but for now, this will have to suffice.
Here's a 5 1/2' long beaded scarf that was knit from our Miss Scarlett's (in the kitchen with a dye pot) own colorway, which she called UNICEF '07, since the colors were drawn from photos published after Clay Aiken's UNICEF visit to Afghanistan.
The browns, tans, and creams of the landscape and clothing contrast beautifully with the turquoise blue to make a very pretty scarf. It's 50/50 silk wool, and beaded throughout with matching beads, which add a bit of heft so it drapes nicely. On each end extra beads dangle to form decorative swags.
Sorry, I don't have any models, and the cats just would not cooperate...

Hee! The scarf is lovely.....the beads are so perfect and are a delightful addition! Bwah - those darn cats.
I already oooohed and ahhhed over this at your house and you still wouldn't let me steal it! Jeesh :o) Really, it's simply lovely. For anyone considering bidding on this scarf, I can say from first hand gropage, it's soft and supple and her work is gorgeous. It's just a really beautiful piece! Fantastic yarn Scarlett!
Having seen this piece several times along the way during it's development, I can say it is a work of art done with loving care. The beads add such lovely texture to the beautiful colors, and it is very soft and light. Perfect way to dress up a winter outfit!
Gorgeous...simply gorgeous!
