Worked sections A, B, C, D, E, F, U, V, W (large- Option 2), and X through Row 136 as written. Skipped Y as I was worried about enough yarn. I had 34 grams remaining after Row 136.
After first Vikkel braid, I had 28 grams remaining and realized I was not going to have enough to complete the pattern as written. I wanted to do the picot BO, so skipped Rows 146-148. I cut the yarn at the end of the first Vikkel braid, then moved the sts back to the beginning of this row and re-attached the yarn so I was working a RS row again and did the second Vikkel Braid. I then had 20 grams of yarn remaining. I began the picot BO but realized that I would run out of yarn with the 3/5 picot, so changed it to a 3/9 picot. As it turned out, I had 12 grams remaining at the end so could have placed the picots closer together. I really like the way the back-to-back Vikkel braids look with the beads between them! This is a wonderfully written pattern as always. Used ~1250 Miyuki triangle 5.0 beads in Lt Blue/Teal (TR 1822). Dimensions-~128” by 22” deep.
I gave this yarn 4 stars only because it’s splitty, but love the smoothness and the luster.
Very happy with the result.
