Sarah Bernhardt Bag

Last night I worked on my Sarah Bernhardt beaded purse. I am almost at the halfway point. I like this project and the knitting with beads, but I don't like stringing the beads. The beautiful purple/blue beads come pre-strung on white cotton string, but I am knitting with a black cotton. The beads need to be re-strung from one to the other. I keep making bead messes. Also, stopping to string more beads breaks up my fun knitting time. I am using a plastic blue loop to string the beads; there must be a better way! But I do like the progress and the look of the bead knitting. This is going to be an awesome purse!

Last night I got about 1cm done while watching Arsenic and Old Lace with Nana and Papa.
