For this project I followed knittimo’s notes and modifications. You can find her wonderfull work here http://www.ravelry.com/projects/knittimo/the-age-of-brass...

• 8 extra rows worked in the first stockinette section (2nd and later worked as instructed)
• Knit every other k2tog with size 6 round seed bead. I loaded a bead onto a 0.75mm hook, knit 2 sts together with the bead-loaded hook as if with the right hand needle, and then pulled the loop through the bead and placed it onto the right hand needle. 188 beads used in total. (I also added a bead on the center st)
• One extra repeat of stockinette/eyelet pattern

I worked only rows 1 et 2 from the Final Section in Garter Stitch

Picot bind off :
RS : Using the knit cast on, cast on 2 sts onto the left needle (make sure to twist the sts back on the left needle). Bind off 4 sts (= the 2 new sts and 2 shawl sts) Place the remaining stitch back onto the left needle. And repeat.
When you reach the center stitch you have to knit it and the next together, then bind off, so all picots should meet all eyelets.
Fasten off the last stitch.

I hope my notes are clear, sorry for my approximative english…
