Great work. Love the gappy grin on your helper! I've got one of those around here right now and it just makes me smile sometimes. That’s beautiful in all ways — the pattern, the yarn, the beads.

I have marked my calendar to check her blog on the 28th. But my hands tremble at the sight of all those beads! Am I crazy to try this as a first project?? I've seen some of your FO's and you are very, very good. Sigh. Your backyard and pool are lovely. My parents have a pool that they too, can only use for a few short weeks in summer because of weather...and it's a lot of work to keep it, and the landscaping, up for such a short window of enjoyment. But it's worth it for the exercise the kids get in it, and the knitting time you get by it!! Can't wait for the 28th!!! Marissa I want to kit that very, very badly.

One of the reasons I share the design process so often in my blog, is that, once broken down into the individual steps,it becomes less mysterious and more accessible. Besides, I think the more you know about the project, the more you immerse yourself in it; the more you become fully present in the knitting of it. And the more you enjoy it. It's all about flow... Blessings, thanks, and happy knitting always! Our secret lives are never quite as glamorous as they seem to others, are they?
