I finished this up last Sunday afternoon. It is hard to get a photo that does the colors justice. In the natural light the colors and the beads glow, but that is hard to capture.
I used bright blue silver lined beads on the edging, and they pick up the other colors of the shawl. I did discover, after the fact, that for 10 repeats of the edging I inadvertently used a US 3 (3.25 mm) needle. It was in the wrong needle pouch. Fortunately it didn’t really have much of an impact, if any. I certainly couldn’t see any when I blocked, and that may just be due to the fact that I was knitting lace. That needle is now safely put up in its proper needle pouch. I should have listened to my fingers when they were telling me that the needle was smaller in diameter than the needle that I had been using.
