12/25: This was blocked yesterday and is truly stunning, if I say so myself. :)

12/8: I got my new 1mm crochet hook yesterday and picked this up again last night. The crochet hook makes it much faster but it’s still kind of slow going. It’s absolutely stunning though!

12/2: I was chugging along on this until the beads started. 10/0 beads plus no 1.15 mm crochet hook = a pain in the butt that stops me from knitting. Oh well.
