Progress report: I have about a third done (9 1/2 inches knit so far) with the first half of the scarf, and am prepping one for demo.
The second one is being done with beads I found at JoAnn's and a skein of Serenity Sock Yarn in "Thyme".
It should tun out looking like a spring extravaganza of colors.
Because the beads came in a 100g bag, I used my scale to measure out the gram weight of beads and calculate how many beads per 10 grams so I can use bagged beads in the future. The count I got was 160 beads to 10 grams. Then I multiplied that to get the first half count of beads for the scarf and weighed it out. My goal was not to have to count them and to have enough beads on the first half of yarn.
Next I will knit the first half to the desired length, 24 inches, and whatever beads are leftover can go back to the bead pot for recalculating for the next half. I have found it is better to have
more beads that not enough.
There will be more pictures next week of the It's Spring "Thyme" scarf once I get it started for the demo.
I hope everyone is finding fun ways to kick start their Spring~!

Very pretty. I have really been wanting to make that pattern.
Too many patterns, too little time.
