Inspired by legaleagle’s shawl, I headed to my LYS to get yarn. Found some Meadowcroft Dyeworks that I think will work well.
C1: Pisgah National Forrest
C2: Harold’s Crayon

Finished Clue 2. Looking ahead, trying to plot how I’m going to place beads in future clues.

Added beads to Chart E. Bead inspiration from plentyofyarn. I’m using my leftover clear beads from The Peacock’s Tale. I placed them in row 14, just above the cdd in row 13. Love how it turned out. I also placed one on the very center stitch of the row.

Added beads to Chart F. Bead inspiration from MPGColorado, who placed four beads on each ornament. I chose to do three because of where I placed the beads on Chart E. In row 3, I placed the beads on the slip 5 stitches (1 & 5). In row 6 (on the wrong side), I placed the bead on the slip stitch.

Added beads to Chart G. Bead inspiration from mswolpe. In rows 10 and 12 (on the wrong side), I placed beads on the stitch between the yarn overs in the previous row. I also placed beads on the center spine stitch in these rows.

Added beads to Chart H. Again, bead inspiration from mswolpe. In rows 10 and 20 (on the wrong side), I placed beads on the stitch between the yarn overs in the previous row (like on Chart G). I also placed beads on the center spine stitch in these rows.

Added beads to Chart I, using inspiration from mswolpe.
In rows 2 and 4 (on the wrong side), I placed beads on the stitch between the yarn overs in the previous row (like on Chart G and H). I also placed beads on the center spine stitch on these rows.
In rows 5 and 7 (on the right side), I placed beads on the stitch between the yarn overs. I did not place beads on the center spine stitch on these rows.
In rows 9 and 11 (on the right side), I placed beads on the ssk and k2tog that are between 2 yarn overs.
- ssk: bead 1st stitch then make the stitch
- K2tog: bead the 2nd stitch then make stitch
In the bind-off row, on the knit 3 into stitch - knit first, bo, then bead, then knit/bind off next two in same stitch.
