So this month was 'try something new', and towards the end of the month I finally realised I hadn't done anything new, as I had been focused on getting Dressmaker's daughter finished.
Bluebell was sitting there, half finished. So I decided, eh, why not, and tried beading as I went.
Well.
Let us just say that we will NOT be doing THAT ever again.
I either lost time because I was running my fingers over the beads and muttering pretttyyyyyy under my breath all the time, sat staring at it the other half of the time. And when I was actually stitching, the threads I was using kept wrapping around the beads and catching.
All in all, I have no idea how people manage it, and I am in awe of their ability to not go insane and throw their stitching across the room in a fit of rage.
But I learnt I am unable to bead as I go. So at least I got something productive out of the experience?
Stitched on Chromatic Alchemy Permanganate, 32 belfast linen. 2 over 2. Kreinik 1432 left out, and 838 backstitching replaced by kreinik 1223.
