Bead crochet lariat

Here's a photo of a lariat I finished recently. It's beaded in size 11 seed beads with a 1.5mm hook. The 1.25 hook gave too tight a tension which would have meant I'd not have been able to knot it.



It's sort of from the October 2008 edition of Bead and Button. There's a lariat in there (page 88) called "Winter Medley". It goes from White one end to black the other with fringing but not too much. I've liked it since I saw it. I live in the UK though and couldn't manage to match the colours exactly so I settled on a dark to light plain rope. It has six in a round. I like it but not as much as Winter Medley by Virginia Blakelock.
