New knitting project!

It has been quite a while since I started a new knitting project, but something made me pick up this one last night.  This is a kit I purchased 2 or 3 years ago at NH Sheep & Wool Festival.  It was from Ellen's 1/2 Pint Farm and called "Peeking Beads Scarf".  It came with beads and a hand-painted sock blank.  I found the pattern a little frustrating at first, and tried a few variations last night.  This morning I decided I wasn't happy with it, and pulled out what I had done to try again.

I finally figured out the instructions after a more thorough read-through (and some sleep).  I also adjusted my needle size upward for a more open knit, and stringing the beads required digging through my crochet hook collection to find one that would fit through the beads.  

On my way now!
