Notes

I was unsure about the i-cord edge and considered switching to a garter stitch border but so far, I am liking it! I hope it does its job and does not curl.
I bought two packages of 6/0 beads and have a 1.30mm crochet hook, hopefully the size works for that.

I finished Chart A on 9/14 and Charts B & C on 9/15 (they are tiny).
I have started Chart D but have not 100% made up my mind about the beading yet. I think I have two rows yet before I absolutely have to decide.

I don’t really know why but I got it into my head that it would look cool to have different color beads for the parts of the pattern that call for beads as opposed to the mesh, so I bought these.

Chart E completed 10/21/24
Second ball of yarn almost finished.

Chart F finished 11/6/24

11-18-2024

I finished chart G on 11/17.
I was a little confused about the bind off with picots. I think the language could have been clearer but I figured it out and am now done except for blocking!

I was so close to finishing with just three skeins but sadly, I had to join the fourth one halfway through the crochet bind off.
