The first one hundred and twenty

The first 120 of approximately 720 beads have been painstakingly knitted into the bodice of the sweater:

Many observers have generously commented on their delightful effect…

…but no one could be more pleased with my beading than…me.

Minnie, in her full glory:

As you can see, the beads are a subtler touch when you can see the whole sweater. And there is something about Minnie, perhaps her light color, perhaps her little slubs, perhaps her spring-green beads, that gives me hope that spring will be here.

In spite of the fact that it is seven degrees here with a minus thirteen windchill.

    I can’t believe how many beads that pattern calls for. Minnie is going to be GOR-GEOUS!
