Row 126 has a count of 643 including edges.
I’m out by one stitch. Will try and find on row127
I found my stitch. Counts are correct per pattern

Stitch counts for “my rows” are all correct.
Need to double check red numbers and bead counts.

So how to Block this beauty..

Plan A,. Laid out on the bed, knew I had space limitation of trying to Block the top edge flat so…
Put the two end side by side and fanned out the body circular wise.
Pinned the centre neck and stretched out the centre bottom motif. Pulled down the motifs between the flowers all round then coming back to the centre pulled down the edges aligning to the longest leaves of the flower. Repeated this on the left side, then the right side
This gives a very sharp edges shawl, and I’m didn’t really like it, so, carried on pulling down each picot until the edges now has a scalloped wave.
This was first done by besth and she did hers much better than mine!!
