The bead thing is absolutely killing me. I love the beads. I want to bead everything I knit for the rest of my life! I’m a bead addict! (My addictions are intense, but short lived!)
But which beads with which yarn? I’ve cast on this stole twice, but I’m thinking the third time is going to be the charm. The dagger beads look great with the Olive, but I think the pink beads look even better. Any thoughts?

I like them both, but that pink has a bit of green and looks very nice.

I like the dagger beads with the green ... but then, I haven't been a pink/white fan since I was about 16. (grin)

I bought that pattern awhile back and bought Lorna's Laces Helen's Lace to knit it. I found some abalone drop-style beads in Bethany that went best with it. I like your dagger beads best.

I really like the daggers with the green. Then again, I'm not a huge fan of pink.

I love BOTH - but I think I actually prefer the pink beads with the olive yarn - gorgeous combination! If you don't mind me asking, where did you find those?
