Beaded Aeolian Lavender Shawl

Love this pattern, so pretty. Big Thank You to Elizabeth Freeman for this beautiful pattern. Admire her work here : http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring09/KSPATTaeolian.php

The pattern is very intriguing for me, longtime wondering if I could do it, so I read over & over again all the comments on Aeolian KAL board on Ravelry before starting the project. It helped me a lot. Once knitting, I found the pattern was really easy to follow, it’s not as difficult as it appears at first.

Did 8 repeats of Yucca chart, fully beaded as charted, with Amethyst luster 8° & 6° seed beads. Knitted with Fyberspates Nef Lace on Yucca part, Oh Gosh, this yarn is so thin like a sewing thread, so afraid of breaking it.

Did 7-stitch nupps, but barely see them on this yarn : Habu Silk/Mohair - Fortunately, nupps are really easily knitted with this yarn, no pain whatsoever.

Will knit another one with no beads & nupps. The shape of this pattern is already so beautiful without them.
