Based on the designer’s advice, I will be using larger needles and working the smaller body.. and adding beads!!!! :-D

(Ok… maybe I’m using smaller needles… I really like the texture of the fabric in this size.)

Using 8/0 beads for the body (dark teal -- will have to look up the brand, I think Precioso)
Will use 6/0 beads in place of the nups.

CHANGE OF PLANS… more yarn, large body. LOVE it!

NOV 2-- Just started the border and man are there a lot of stitches, Lol! I stretched it out (almost) using about 93” of cables-- still have at least 2 feet bunched up. This will be huge!

Dec 10-- finished BO! Waiting for an opportunity to block it out.
