The Dragon Chalice is Smaug. bought many years ago.

Most of my dragon collection is pewter and I love blue. So VFA colourway Blue Steel is perfect
Fusion Beads 2873 are perfect too.

Now to cast on.

Chart K - new version revised May 1 -

2019-05-06

Chart K complete - and I forgot to weigh the skein before starting Chart L

Chart L - 38 pattern repeats in total for 38 double nupps on the first round - slight mod since I am using heavy lace, Increased only 13 sts - and p6 p1 p6 on the reverse row . Also beaded the p1 on the ws row.
I am also beading the left and right decreases that come to a cdd as this reminds me of dragons scale . The single nupp I replaced with a large (6mm) swarovski Light azore AB finish. Adding the bling that would attract a dragon - and embed into its skin.
