Step Into Christmas Cowl - Chart A Done!

This is my small project knitting, when I don’t want a full lap.  I pick this up and put it down as the mood takes me, but this past weekend I finished up Chart A.  I have also done the first round of Chart B, just to get the color changes taken care of.  I replaced the red stitch in the last motif with red beads, just cause.  I’ll be using more red beads in a later motif - one that was also in the hat.  I started out on 16 inch circulars for the ribbing, switched to 20 inch circulars when I went up a needle size and started the color work, and then switched to 24 inch circulars, as I really hate having color work bunched up on my needles.
