Had an extra st somewhere … impaled my finger on a 0.6mm crochet hook, not good … cast off a little, will complete that today. 10 beads left (one of which cracked and that’s how I impaled my finger). 14gm of beads.
4 dec - finished line 5 of chart D. Weighs 53gm.
3 dec - chart C complete. Weighs 45gm.
2 dec - sixth chart B finished. alas, realised i was a st short when it came to the came to the eyelet row. i’ve taken out the last p2tog on the following WS row which i think should even things out. 14 rows of chart C complete - weighs 42gm.
