MS3 Clue 1

After a couple of minor hiccups and tinking a few stitches I finally finished knitting the first clue this morning. Not entirely sure I'm happy with the choice of yarn, well colour anyhow. The sandy colour looks slightly grubby somehow now that it's knitted up.A little close up of my bead choice. I opted for the seed beads in the end as the size 8 (3mm) beads suggested by the pattern seemed far too heavy for the yarn. The smaller beads seem to work just fine - you just get the odd glint every now and again as they catch the light.
So, can you see what the theme is yet? No? Me either!
