This is a very, very fine laceweight. Doing the stockinette body, I was liking the smooth silky alpaca-silk blend. Although I intended to start with a smaller size needle, I got well into the body and realized I was using a 6, so I went up only once to a 7. Struggled with the lace pattern , even though this was my second time doing this sweet pattern - attributable to the yarn, I believe, and the dark color. Pearl Ten is a rather plummy dark grey.

Used Size 6 hematite/charcoal beads because I didn’t want this to be ‘blingly’. Used fewer beads than pattern indicates, starting beads later and skipping to every other row until final lace border.

I think I prefer my Boo’s in a fingering weight, or if in lace, starting with a size 4. I’ll know better after It’s off the boards, I guess. OK, it is actually rather lovely in this fine weight!
