WOYWW #412

Feline inspiration!

Hi all, glad to be back showing you what's on my worktray this week. 

If you're wondering what this is all about, it's the What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday circle, hosted by Julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/

I'm still waiting for my beading silk to arrive, so was thinking about what to do with my black and white beads.

I looked across at one of my 2 cats, who as ever,  supervise my crafting, and the answer was there. Black and white Dino, resting against an amber cushion!


So I got out some amber beads, and I think they go quite well with the black and white.  

I was also wondering about combining an old Tibetan dzi bead necklace I got from Gordon Reece's (sadly long gone) gallery in Knaresborough, where LLJ and I spent many happy days browsing and picking up exotic far eastern bits and bobs. I think it's better just with the sharp black and white, and amber, though. What do you think? 

My knitting is coming on, too, and the back is almost finished on my cardigan. There's a close up of the pattern, below, too, in case anyone wants to try it.  I can send the pattern details to you if you'd like it.

I'll be offline for the next 2 Wednesdays, as we're off to France for 10 days, first to Provence, and then to Beaujolais for a festival in the village where our vineyard is. we then have a few days in Wales, to see LLJ and family.

I'll enjoy looking through your blogs tonight. Have a good week, all!
