Notes

Beads are Miyuki TR 5 1827 sparkling purple line aqua luster.

The pattern is such a soothing and relaxing knit, and the yarn just adds to the sheer sensual pleasure of knitting! I have another favourite yarn. It’s oh so soft! And the colours are amazing!

Decided to to a forth time the lace body chart to enlarge the shawl.

Changed to 5 mm needles for the lace border chart.

This was cutting it too tight with the yarn in hindsight. So I fudged the border a bit, taking the bead placement from the last RS row to the next to last one and binding off earlier. Probably could have made it with without the needle change, but didn’t want to frog back.

Yarn after:
