Without further fuss, and in no particular order...

From Dawn

Yarn:  Kaido Lame

Beads:  Silver-lined gold #8 Japanese seed beads

From Gala!

From Jean

I missed the instructions to move the start of the first 39 or so rows one stitch to the right so I substituted YO/K2tog for the double YO/double central decrease to  make the start easier. It produced a lovely flower,  

Yarn: Classic Elite Pirouette Color: Caribean Sea 3.5 skeins

 Beads: #8 silver lined seed beads

Blocked size 66 x 23

From Cynthia

I blocked it to the same measurements as yours, on a size 4 needle.  The yarn was YarnArt Kid Mohair Transparent, Color 3.  It’s 60% Kid Mohair and 40% Acrylic.  I was terrified it would block horribly.  My fears were unjustified.  It was wonderful.

From Sue

I used Iridaceae lace yarn, Iridae, in Emerald

US 4 needles

Emerald 8.0 beads

Did a garter stitch instead of ribbed borders

From Sheila

Yarn is Crystal Palace Kid Merino, color, Ultra Blues, 6 skeins

Beads are dark amber or root beer ABs 8/0 - chosen for their complimentary contrast to the yarn.

I made a tapered sleeve and added more beads to the corners and sleeve details.

From Mary Rose!
