A Pretty Thing
I made a pretty thing for my lovely friend Christina to wear at her wedding reception this weekend.

It's a crocheted, beaded capelet, which I worked using a pattern from Phildar magazine #440 (the same book this scarf is from). If you want this excellent magazine, you can find it here. Please note, though, it is only available in French.
I used less than 2 balls of Rowan Kidsilk Haze in Trance, and a bunch of clear tiny beads with silver centers.
It's unusual for me to make something pretty and delicate; generally, it fits neither my style of dress nor my lifestyle. I really enjoyed having an excuse to make this, and it was nice to be able to make something beautiful for my friend.
I hope she likes it.

How could she not like it? It's gorgeous! : ) If she doesn't like it, call her an ingrate and take it right back! ; )
This is absolutely stunning. Seriously, this is beautiful. It's making me want to learn to crochet again
It's really, really beautiful Mandy. I'm half hoping the reception dress is orange, the blue looks so good with the chair!
