I love Black Parade and I think it will be most excellent with those teal beads; it looks kind of like very subtle oil iridescence.

And crochet hooks are possessed, or their manufacturers are, or both. I love Addi crochet hooks for small, bead-y sizes (I get them through elann.com), they run true to size and come with a cap too.

Let’s be fair – this comment has nothing to do with your scarf attack (although, I agree that the colors don’t work together, may your new yarn match spectacularly!)

Just wanted you to know that I FINALLY finished my head eating monster hat after it sat for several months with no eyes because I wasn’t willing to go to Walmart to buy buttons. You can see a pic on my blog; that is, if you care.

Keep up the excellent blogging. Your posts always delight me.

Oh I can’t wait to see the new yarn with the beads too. I have never added beads but wow I would love to learn I even liked your “bad” samples.

Sounds like an unnecessarily complicated rationalization to buy new yarn to me. Maybe I suck, but both choices looked fantastic in my eyes. ;)

It looked like a cat ate a clown made entirely of yarn, and that it didn’t go down so well and the cat then vomited up the yarn clown and the result was what you see in that pic. And clowns are scary, even if they’re made of yarn, and cat vomit is also scary, so clearly this was not the way to go.
I love you so hard.

Hmm…you’re right about those colors not playing well together. I bet those beads look smashing on the new yarn, though.

Your posts always give me a laugh, so thanks!

I totally agree that the beads and yarn are not playing well together. We won’t talk about the second yarn…too scary. Can’t wait to see the new yarn! Thanks for making my morning!
