Yes... I'm still working on the Frozen Leaves shawl. I decided to bead the lace portion which ended up being very time consuming because I'm using a crochet hook to add each bead. But as of today I started the border with will also have beads. My ball of yarn has gotten pretty small and each row is eating up a lot of yarn now so I'm not sure how many more rows I will get out of it. I see the end of this project in the near future. Last night was my knitting group and we had a pleasant time as usual and I was able to knit about 2 rows. It's taking me almost an hour per row. Well maybe not that much but the beaded rows do take longer to knit than the purl rows.
Easter has come and gone. I love this picture of my daughter and her family on Easter.
Finally we are having Florida weather... someone is enjoying it. (^_^)

Oooh - lots of beads! Can't wait to see it blocked.
I cant wait to finish it. I'm not sure how well the cotton will block.
I love the beads! even if they ARE time consuming, they look fantastic!
Cotton blocks just fine. I usually use the help of my mom's steam genie (or whatchamacallit) and they look fantastic. It does tend to stretch if you wring it though! LOL!
OO thanks for the blocking advice CT I will use my little steam thingy to block it. (^_^)
