At first the fact that there were so many charts was overwhelming but its really not that bad. I put them in page protectors and even color coded them. Eventually I didn’t need to color code the charts.

Took three containers of beads to complete shawl. I have about 20 or so beads left over.

Size seems kind of small and I hope the blocking will stretch it out to a bit larger size.

My circular Boye set was too much of a pain during the last chart section. Even with the longest length connecter it was still too small and I was struggling. The joints really are too big for this small needles and it slowed me down.

Luckily my friend Katiebell has the new Hiya Hiya sharps set and I borrowed the 40” long circular needle. They allowed me to knit so much faster with the smooth joints and the swivel attached cords. They are very nice. Although I did have a problem with the pieces unscrewing since there is no hole in the needles to tighten them like the Boye brand needles.
