I ordered some glass beads in drops and rounds - these are all the drops and four of the 25 rounds,
and some Fimo beads for making sock stitch markers.
The Beadalon wire that I ordered is actually much thinner than I thought it was but luckily so are the crimps so they actually do match! Guess what I'll be doing later on.
I have now separated the arms of my Amused from the body stitches, I'm so glad, every third row I was increasing by 8 stitches and they were getting more and more squashed on the circular needle. I had 276 stitches by the last increase. I'm glad I wasn't doing any bigger a size! Part way through one of my Knit Picks cables broke and I had to dash to the LYS before they closed to get a replacement. I did try glueing the other one but nearly stuck my fingers together with SuperGlue so gave that up as a bad job! I can now work on 174 stitches to the bottom of the body. The cables are looking quite good.

Beautiful beads! I've got some of those glass drop ones and they're almost too gorgeous to use; I want to just string them up and admire them.
Amused looks great - love the colour!
