Notes

Doing a mishmash of sizes. Cast on 190 sts (as for XL).
64 rows for body before armhole shaping.
Five 2.5” tubes of 8/0 beads - Toho 29BF.
First tube of beads had 333 beads in it.
Save 21 beads for the latter half of Chart B and 301 beads for Chart C (per side).
Bead math suggests I can squeeze in 10 repeats of Chart B (rows 1-12) on each side and still have enough for the rest.

12/9/20: yarn on swift (Photo 1, cat on stool)

2/21/21: Started Peacock Lace Chart A, after 65 rows (one extra to account for modifying pattern to have a stockinette RS). (Photo 4)
Changing the penultimate three stitches in row 1 to match the edging for the stockinette rows before them. Changing the (p1,k1) stitches in Row 2 to be symmetrical, with (k1, p1) first and (p1, k1 near the end of the row. Changing the 3-into-1s and 5-into-1s to use knits and purls rather than YOs.

3/29/21: Second side complete; 10g remaining.
4/4/21: First side complete. Joined fourth skein (121g) in the middle of bindoff. 118g remaining for sleeves.

5/20/21: 15 decreases on right sleeve. 78g remaining.
