Here's a picture of my progress on my purse. It's 95 rows out of 320.

THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CANNOT

[atherleisure]

Thank you!

[hiraimi]

Woooow! That looks amazing. I love the gradual increase/decrease of the beaded, uh, lozenges? Ellipses? Anyway, I love the shape of them.

[atherleisure]

Thanks. The pattern just refers to it as the "curved pattern," but I think I like your suggestion of "lozenges." It's really easy because the effect is caused by shifting the number of beads in two places in the repeat rather than changing the stitch pattern at all.

Wow, I can't believe how fast you are! That looks amazing already!

[atherleisure]

Thanks. It's actually a really easy pattern - after the first twenty rows, it's the same pattern in every row until twenty rows from the end. Only the number of beads changes between rows. And it's all garter stitch.

Wow! It's so beautiful. Also, that is a really ingenious pattern with the different sections of beading and blue thread.

[atherleisure]

Thank you. It's cool how it looks like the thread is shifting, but it's really garter stitch that the beads push around.

I mean everything you make is gorgeous but this is exceptionally so!!

[atherleisure]

Thank you. What a lovely compliment!

[sewtimely]

How lovely! Makes me want to take up knitting again, which is certainly saying something.

[atherleisure]

Thank you. I love the portability of knitting and the fact that I can do it in the car, but it sounds like you don't enjoy it so much.
