Pattern: Exploring Waves by Laurie Lee
I made this as part of the group Mystery 220 on Ravelry. Each week the moderators of the group would post a "clue" that we would knit and then wait eagerly for the next installment of the pattern. This was the mystery from January (as embarrassed as I am to admit it).
Yarn: Dale of Norway Baby Ull in a nice heather grey
I'm not usually big on neutral yarns. I'll go for bright colors, fun variegates, or stripes but I rarely go for black, grey or brown. I decided since we were putting beads on this one that I didn't want anything too crazy. Oh, and there's a little bit of blue variegated Yarn Bee Snowflake yarn in the cord which I used to double the yarn so I could crochet the cord instead of making an i-cord as the i-cord was getting on my nerves!
What I'll remember from this project: Beads! I was slightly intimidated by the beads but after working with them a little bit they weren't nearly as hard as I thought they would be. I used the pre-strung method and hope some day to try the other method that uses a crochet hook.
This project really shouldn't have taken me this long but I kept getting distracted, then I brought it home for break and left the yarn and needles when I returned to school. I am glad that I finally finished it and that it turned out nicely!

Update on 5K goal:
It has been really warm here so I haven't been great about running but I'm trying to make myself go out for a run no matter what, even if its a short run, hoping it will get me used to running in the heat. I'm not sure the 5K on the 24th will be the goal maker but I'm going to do everything I possibly can to make it the best run possible!
