I started this project for myself several months ago. It's a Pattern called Brooklyn Slipover. Basically a boxy vest. It has been super easy just relentlessly monotonous. Apart from the hems and the cowl neck (to come at the end), it is nearly 200 rows of HHDC, a fiddlier version of the fast HDC. So it doesn't go nearly as fast as the basic HDC and i get bored quickly 😆
I do a bit here and there, and now thats it's starting to cool down, I may actually need it soon. I'm close the starting the neck hole and then the other panel (front and back are done in one piece).

Literally going to cry 😢

Glass beads are so delicate sometimes. I rarely break any when doing but used to do it relatively often when I was doing .

This is the first brickstitch I’d done in a while and all was going well until I needed to sew in one end to join another. I broke one bead, again no huge deal, as it was a white one and I could work in another to hide the previously worked thread. I then broke the second one while doing this, too many thread and needle passes.

The devastating part is this project is a goner! The broken beads were in the starting row, I’ve run out of the yarn tail and as you can see, there are too many threads to work ‘around’ 😮‍💨

I’ve put this all in a little baggie to be in picked and redone at a later date. If I attempt to do it the next time I have a spare few minutes, I’m just not going to be in the mood.
