Here's the culprit. It was good practice on attaching beads with a crochet hook as well as using Vikkel (Estonian) braid on something other than a hat. While its mate hibernates, I am going to work on some hats for the GK as well as some "what was I thinking" sock KALs. Here's one hat all finished, and more about the sock projects in another post.
The littlest Miss picked out the pom pom. I'm hoping to finish four more hats for the rest of the GK before our family trip to CO at the end of March.......as well as those Sock KALs. When will I learn?
Remember this? Well, this over-performing plant now looks like this. It's going crazy, isn't it? This photo is from a few days ago, and now there are even more blossoms open. Stalk number three is almost as tall as the other two, and hardly has room to open. Stay tuned. (And have a great weekend!)

That mitt is so pretty with the beads and braid. It looks fiddly to me though and Piper's sweater smocking is all the fiddliness this old brain can handle right now! Ha!
That plant is amazing. And look how green your grass is over there on the weat side. We still have months before it's that pretty here.
Cute pompom and a sweet little hat to go with it.
I hope you're having a wonderful afternoon.
Blessings,
Betsy
The beaded mitt is lovely Judy! You'll make the match. The hat......so soft looking and sweet. I need you to give me a good talking to. Al may be moving to North Carolina and Fireman and I are so sad she's not considering moving closer to home. (WE do NOT tell her that) Troy's sadness is worse than mine. He really took it hard last night. Maybe I just need to get him to a beach! or a golf course! :)
Cute mitt! And love that pompom!
look at that pom pom!!! that is beautiful to add to a perfectly knitted hat. Your mystery mitt is lovely and I love the design wrapping over the hand.
I totally understand SMS!
My husband rolls his eyes when I talk about knitting pressure. He clearly isn't a knitter!
❤️ the gorgeous and ambitious amaryllis!
I don't participate in KALs anymore. I've frogged too many that I attempted over the years.
What an elegant mitt!
LOVE that pink little pom pom.
I think I learned my lesson with KALs --- I never like knitting under a deadline.
Your amarylis is gorgeous!
It's a good thing I did them both at the same time! LOL! Your first one is beautiful, Judy. You'll get back to it. LOVE the little pom pom hat! So stinkin' cute! Beautiful amaryllis! Have a wonderful weekend! blessings ~ tanna
What a treat to see something blooming. We have a few more inches of fresh snow. Fun hat and if I were a little kid I would have picked that Pom Pom too. Good luck with the second mitt. Thanks for stopping at my blog I am feeling better after my nap.
Have a great weekend
Your amaryllis is so gorgeous. I think SSS is second sock syndrome but for me it is second sleeve syndrome. Good luck on the hats and mitt.
What a beautiful bloom! I've never seen that before!
You can definitely have SMS. I had it and I wasn't even trying anything new with technique, but I had struggled to sit down with the second and give it any time. That blue is beautiful and I love that your grand picked out her pom pom hehe. You have a lot of happiness to knit for! Enjoy I can't wait to see it all.
Beautiful mitt, so funny that you are ready to move on to something else and let it hibernate for a while. :-) The lily is beautiful and so many flowers on the one bulb. Interesting there are no leaves as I have similar in our garden but it always has leaves.
That is a GORGEOUS amarylis.
Who doesn't love a fluffy pink pom pom. I bought a cream color one and a navy one for hats that I hope to knit soon.
