I was slightly frustrated with the line of yarn going across the text for the knitting version, but couldn't figure out how to fix that using knitting so I decided to go with crochet (which I hadn't done beyond the edging of a sweater since I was about 7) and then I tried moving the camera (first attempt doing that in stop motion – it sort of worked?) and there were beads and things...

thanks hitrecord, for encouraging me to (re)learn new skills:)

and again thanks to crispyfuller for the idea and cacheth for the yarn:)
