Second Little Sunshine Completed


I've just completed my second bereavement set. I wanted to make this one a little different by adding beads. This was my first time knitting with beads and it's not as difficult as I thought. My husband thought adding beads to a bereavement gown would be a little gaudy, so I tried to be conservative with the amount of beads I added. I am really enjoying making these cute little gowns, but I think this time it's off to the post office.

    I've seen a few things knitted beads knitted in. I'm not sure I understand how that would work, but this gown is really lovely.

    It's beautiful. I think with a conservative amount of beads, it adds a nice touch. Very thoughtful of you.

    I like the beaded touch to it. Even if you were to only put them at the waist or the neckline it would still look good.

    I haven't knit with beads yet. I see those beaded purses that are knit and think they look awfully cute.

    I wanted to let you know that I just e-mailed you a copy of the ring code from the RingSurf admin. site. Your blog is in the queue for the Fiber Arts Bloggers webring, but you don't seem to have the ring code up on your blog. If you want to e-mail me when you have the ring code back up and whatnot, I’ll check it out and get you into the ring as quickly as I can. Let me know if you need any help! :)
