Knitting with beads

I really enjoyed this project.  I decided on a small drink holder for my friend LM.  She loves beads.  Although the color does not match, it was what i had that were glass and not plastic.  
Glass beads stand up to all the washing that the item will go through.   Plastic beads will loose there color and fade and even break off with time & usage.
I really enjoyed this.  I used the "yarn in front,  slip stitch, pull bead up from PRE-STRUNG beads, place in front of slipped stitch,  then knit the next stitch. "
This has the cleanest look.
