I knew that in my recovery from a knee replacement, my cane would be used for a few weeks. It's a plain old black one and I thought it was silly for it to stay that way! Now, of course, I'd scheduled this surgery 3 months out, so I knew I was going in on February 1st. So, of course, I didn't start this project until February 10th, a week after I got out of the hospital! I planned on blogging as I went along, but of course, that didn't happen.
So you get to see it all at once. Isn't that exciting?!
I drew out a pattern:
I started to bead.
I got a little further...
You can see I don't follow patterns very well, not even my own!
Finally, two weeks later, I was finished.
It didn't come out exactly as I wanted, but I wasn't going to start over!
So I put it on my cane...
It looks pretty good on it, I have to say. But alas, after a week of using my newly decorated cane, I finally started walking without it... sigh...

Wow! And I can't even imagine beading the entire cane!
Oooooh how pretty!
(That's what I call making the best of situation, lol!)
Well done Soozer :-)
How's the knee doing/feeling?

Can you believe I toyed with that idea? Must have been the medication talking... LOL
Faye -
The knee is getting there. So glad the old one is out!
REally cool, sooz. Love the way that you showed it from start to finish.
I had left knee replacement surgery on February 23rd. Wish I had thought of this great idea. My cane is blue and actually kind of pretty as is, but your idea is fantastic. Hope you are doing well with your recuperation.

I hope you are doing well with your knee. The first four weeks are pretty brutal with pain and then the physical therapy. After that, it does get easier!
I see so many canes now with coolio designs, so I just had to jazz mine up!
