What was your inspiration?

I wanted to design a shawl that would teach LOTS of new techniques!

You can read so much more about it here: http://nelkindesigns.blogspot.com/2012/03/accola-shawl-with-super-giveaway.html

What are you most proud of?

It's always an extra challenge to work with a variegated yarn and not have your lace pattern or beadwork get lost. The color of the beads, and the yarn worked perfectly together!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Swatch the center panel before you cast on for the entire shawl!

Love that your beads seem to match the multiple colors of the yarn. Did you buy them already mixed?
