Waited a long time to knit. It is tricky, but I will make this my royal knitted treasure . Beading, ruffle edge, cast on 481 stitches, that is a lot. 1st braid, Interesting directions. Working on diamonds lift section 2. Like looks, but have done a few rip backs. Life lines are helpful. Yarn is soft and easy to work with. It is not as hard as it looks, but practice on swatches before actual shawl. Completed beads wow so pretty . Eyelet section really easy and knits fast. Wearing this and receiving many compliments. Happy knitting Linda
