Hanami
So um, I'm knitting something else among my enormous project list already.
I just couldn't resist. Hanami called to me and it's so utterly beautiful. It's designed by Melanie, the same designer of the MS3 (Swan Lake.)
I started this a couple of weeks ago and have been working on it pretty exclusively the last few days. (Read: have been obsessed with it.)
My yarn is Misti Alpaca Lace in Natural White. It's the leftovers I had after finishing the Striped Baroque Scarf for work.
And because of my MS3, I'm adding beads into the body of my Hanami. Why? Hell, I don't know. It's fun!
And to show the detail of the beaded cast on (which took F O R E V E R)
It's gorgeous, though.
I took this to our Starbucks knitting night last night. Everyone loved it.
Only 3 1/2 charts to go!

Oh my goodness, that is so lovely. If only I could knit like that...I have years of practice in front of me.
Gorgeous!
It looks so light and fluffy, absolutely beautiful!
That is simply breathtaking! Love it!!
Gorgeous! Girl knows her sticks! ;)
You will love knitting the Hanami. I knit it earlier this year and it is one of my fave projects ever!
Yours is looking great, and the beads in the body are a great idea. I wish I had used beads in my MS3. I guess there is always next time!
