Not fond of using acrylic, but this feels soft and it is a pretty color….I am going to potentially use beadz too!

1/05/2015 - Missed a cable on my umpteenth try and had to frog. I decided to go to a bigger needle, size 10 this time to see if it will help me since I tend to knit tightly…

Not going to use the beads, they do not fit the yarn.

Wound up frogging and going back to the size 8 needles and I reckon that must have been the charm because I am through the first pattern section and near done with the second pattern section, then it is off to repeat it again!

The last try was the success..such an amazing pattern to work with. Grafting in pattern did take me a long time, but that would be because I really took my time…

Go get this pattern and knit it. You will love it!
