Baubles and Diamonds

The plan was for four pairs of earrings during my last beading session. Alas, I couldn't find the parts in my various bins and zip locks for two pairs. The sad part is, now I only remember what one of the parts is. So, I may repeat the process soon for the other pair.

The good news is two pairs were completed. The wood cat beads were matched with turquiose. Which is supposedly a current fashion combination for colors. If it isn't, it is close enough for me
or whoever ends up with the earrings.

The second pair are in honor of the narrow gauge train rides I have gone on. The earrings in the gift shops weren't calling my name, even though I was looking. I found these charms at Bead Stringers several months ago and decide this is what they were for. This pair is definitely mine and will join the collection of less than normal earrings worn to work.

That takes care of the baubles in this post, now for the diamonds.

I finished knitting the diamond scarf out of my hand spun yarn. Just a little walnut size ball of yarn is left. Hopefully, the yarn will hold up and not need repairs. The hand spun hasn't been put to the test for wear yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Out of twelve ounces of fiber, the scarf is about seventy four inches by eight before blocking. It really shouldn't change much after blocking.
