Here's my entry for the challenge

I had 40g of my famous vivid pink yarn left so I just had to use it for this and as you can see from the pics there's still plenty left!

Lot of firsts here for me as I made a chart to work from for the beads and then added the beads using the crochet hook method as featured in July issue of LK. Never done either of these before

Su2ie that's brilliant. Now why am I not surprised it's pink. Ellie looks lovely in it. The beading looks great. Well done you.

Well done girlies!!
Susie - No wonder your fingers have blisters. Well done for making your own pattern too & for trying something you've never done before

Sharon - lovely girlie bag in girlie colours.
Still not sure about my entry but did sort of have an idea at 2.30 this morning!!!!

Thanks Buzy & Sharon - it was so simple to do (apart from the blisters!) and I did another narrower one last night with a simpler bead pattern in blue. They don't take very long to knock up at all

And Buzy 2.30am for inspiration??

Well I think that this challenge has pulled out some really great work...Suzie, I think your ball of bright pink is actually growing itself back in between projects

.

And Sharon, lovely detail...

Well Buzy I had thought to do something like a coffee cup cozy but then I thought it would look better as a headband a very practical as Ellie's hair is always falling in her eyes

Oh and obviously as I was writing my own pattern it couldn't be something too complicated
