Notes

Finished! I actually like the way the beads and nupps came out. Still unsure about my tension but honestly I think it’s beautiful. Doubled the yarn for the bind off and I’m glad for that, although it tangled an I had to work around it in the middle.

Used #8 crystal beads and had to use a thread needle(very tiny) and took the suggestion of adding beads on the purl row, and love the result. This is my first attempt at nupps so I hope they come out okay, I increased from 5-7-9 stitches/nupp as the shawl progressed.
For some reason I love chart 1 so next time I’ll make it larger, I was worried about running out of yarn.
I did 3 repeats of chart 1, 2 of chart 2, and 1 of chart 3

4/23 - added a few rows to chart 3 where the rows repeat for the stems, I had plenty of yarn (I think) and wanted to use as much as possible. I improvised a pattern that seemed to flow smoothly. Pics to come.
