4-23-21 - After three false starts with beads, restarted again sans the beads. Cries of failure!!!!

5-17-21 - Finished the third round of the stitch pattern. So far so good (sans the beads).

5-27-21 - Goal this weekend is to finish the front. Month of June will be the back and the shoulder stitches--at least that’s the plan.

With regards to the beads, would it have been better to only put half of the beads on the working end of the skein and then half of the beads on the other end of the same skein, thus avoiding the excruciating difficulty of trying to LACE knit, add beads and move the yarn at the same time?

6-1-21 - Started the back. Goal is to do 12 rows a day and finish the back by June 11.

6-22-21 - Finished the bind off, end weaving and blocking yesterday. Some seriously hot weather put the breaks on getting this done sooner.

Personal Grade A- on lace knitting. F+ on the beads—I tried and failed.
