I'm working (and have been working) on knitting a beaded scarf. It's hard because of putting the beads on the yarn and so it takes a long time to get very far but I am more than halfway done. It is black variegated yarn with black shimmery iridescent beads. I don't know if I will give it away as a Christmas present or keep it for myself. It has taken me so long to do it but then I think it's too pretty to keep for myself.
