I contacted the designer on Ravelry, and she was very helpful! As a result, I only did 10 repeats of the Yucca chart, instead of the 12 in the pattern. In the end, I had 17g of the 100g left over, so I could probably have managed all the repeats. I&#8217;m not concerned though, I&#8217;m perfectly happy with the end result! Possibly the only thing I&#8217;d change would be to get beads that contrasted rather than matched.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100509%20004.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100509%20004.html','popup','width=1024,height=768,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100509%20004-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nLove it all, the yarn, the pattern, the beads, the end result!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I blocked Aeolian on Friday.
