Notes

Decided to add beads --- all the gray needed a flash of color. Couldn’t decide on 1 color, but loved the look of multiple colors together, so taking a chance on multi-colored beads-- 12 colors!

Red Grape IM, Color F399E, size 6/0
Amber/Red rainbow, #2341, size 8/0
Peridot, Silver lined, rainbow, square holes #4322, size 8/0
Cobalt blue, silver lined, rainbow, square hole, #641, size 8/0
Lt berry MI, #330, size 8/0
Topaz Silver lined, rainbow, square hole, hexagon, #8H.648, size 8/0

Miyuki:

Unknown (probably Toho or Matsuno):
Blue Zircon, silver lined #8-1425, size 8/0
Light blue, silver lined, #19, size 8/0
Dark Reddish Purple, silver lined, #8.024B, size 8/0
Champagne Gold, silver lined, rainbow #8.634A, size 8/0

Did 9-stitch nupps.

Had to use about 10-15 yards in 3rd skein to do the bind-off with yarn held double.

Will block in last Echo Flower class on 4/30, to demonstrate blocking techniques to students.

2 Oct 2014
Shawl was damaged at shop-- long stitch pulled out. Was repaired, but came back kinda weird feeling, texture wise. After last Echo Flower class session on Sept 30th, took it home. Reblocked today. Looks pretty good, no sign of the damage or repair. Debating what to do with it now….
