Having finished another couple of 'shingle' squares I started beading up again. Three hours later, having got fed up I have made a decision. I don't think I am going to use the beads. I don't think they add enough to make it worthwhile time and effort wise to thread them. The beads also make the blanket feel harsh to the touch and I am not sure that is what I want.
I am currently knitting a 'punch' square without the beads to see how it looks. If it is ok then no more beads.
Perhaps not following things exactly but when I am spending hours threading with no pleasure gained from doing it (unlike the knitting) it's time to make adjustments!
