I really couldn’t tell what this shawl would look like while I was knitting it, and I was thrilled by its design when I laid it out to photograph it. :)

I love the pattern! It’s an easy knit, but I’m marking it with a greater difficulty rating because of some issues with the instructions.

I was very surprised by the size, since I used only a bit over two balls of yarn. Maybe I miscounted(?)

I wish I would have added beads, but, honestly, I wouldn’t have known where to place them while I was knitting it. Next time. :) (And next time I’ll extend the length a bit, but it will require adding additional stitches on the edging rows.)

Ran into same errors as noted by gwenkeith on main pattern page. Also found these issues, though the proper handing is noted on the last page of instructions (buried in text):

Row 39: Had issue of first k1 that existed before the first yo; rest of row stitches would not line up properly. Resolved by k2tog w/3rd stitch of border.

Row 69: same as Row 39.

Odd Rows 71-77: After 3 border stitches, m1, k1, yo, k5, yo, center double decrease, yo, repeat to end of row, m1.

Note: I did an m1 only at beginning and end of row. If you wish to extend beyond Row 77, you should probably consider doing an m1 (or 2) for each section.
