The other half of the gift that went to my friend K along with the Sailing Away earrings.
This was a fun project, though attaching those beads was a little tedious. This is knit in Habu Textiles Stainless Steel and wool yarn. Yes, metal wrapped in wool. the result is a very interesting fabric that can hold shape.

I read through the pattern first and noticed how many times I would be cutting the yarn and wasn't too thrilled. I didn't see how I would neatly hide all the ends in this fabric, so I adjusted it around. First off you'll see the yarn overs on the leaves are on the opposite ends than the pattern suggests.
