beaded game board - beaded yarn








nice!!!!!!!!!!!

Hasbro / AP


A glass Scrabble board encrusted with more than 30,000 Swarovski crystals glitters at the American International Toy Fair in New York on Feb. 14. Hasbro created the board, worth about $20,000, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Scrabble.


now for the yarn. there IS yarn made with swarovski crystals. it's about 2.00 a foot. who can afford to knit ANYTHING (maybe a friendship bracelet?????) with yarn costing that much? but

artyarns beaded silk (Beaded Silk: Spun silk is twisted with a silk strand of glass beads to create this jewel-like yarn. ...............this yarn is shiny and soft, and can be used with all Regal Silk patterns. Also perfect to trim any garment.) is JUST as lovely and affordable (about 35.50 for 100 yards). iris schreier is the designer. you can't buy her yarn at her website, but there are links to stores where you can. she also has a yahoo group (i'm a member): Remember to join the Multidirectional Group for free patterns, support, and information on MD knitting. It's a wonderful resource.
