In body section, half way up started doing increases every row on the sides to shape it a little.

Also added beads to the body on the k2togs and ssks (each and every one), decided later that was crazy pants, but it was too later and I was committed.

Also did beading on the lace edging down the center of the leafy motifs (see pic). Worked plain rows after last beaded row of body to have the right number of stitches to do the lace pattern.

Didn’t like the yarn, its too springy for lace and doesn’t hold the blocking. Also, if you drop a stitch, its bye bye sanity; it will drop down 10 rows without even thinking about it.
