Last week I was using quite a different type of needle: A Beading Needle!
I made two pairs of earrings for gifts. This is still a bit faster than knitting a gift :)
I made this pair for my son's girlfriend; partially to see if she likes the color combination. Next on my list for her is to make a cowl in Madeline Tosh ASAP in those two colors :)
 |
| These came out quite nicely |
 |
| one half done, working on the second half |
Another pair for my colleague :)
 |
| It was fun to get the right beads aligned... |
 |
| ...and to be working with Swarovski Crystals (the yellow and orange) |
 |
| Julie liked them so much that she put them on right away |
But I also used my knitting needles
I finished the "Yes Checks" hat for The Knitting Garage. Already three customers started on their own "Yes Checks" hats. This is a quick and hip knit; a free pattern designed by Stephen West specifically written for the beautiful Hedgehog Yarn from Ireland.

It is such a quick knit that one of our customers already finished hers!!
 |
| So pretty in the color "Budgie"... |
 |
| ..in 8 x8 checks :) |
At Home I finished the sleeves for my Featherweight Cardigan. I am leaving the last step (Knitting the collar) until our road trip, because this will be an easy one to do.
I cast on the Block Island Guernsey hat. I had to enlarge the chart, but now it is going to be quick to the finish.
