Pearls on the Pulse

PerlI completed this beaded cuff today.  I've had these size 8 beads threaded on some extra Jitterbug yarn as my first beaded cuff attempt did not work out.  I used 2.5 mm Brittany birch dpns and worked three repeats of the 14 row pattern over 25 sts.  I wish I had used 2.75 mm needles to make the cuff a little bigger, but it is close enough as it is.  A fourth repeat would have been too long.  The grafting was quite a challenge and seemed to take nearly as long as knitting the cuff.  This project was a pleasant diversion from sock knitting.  I realize I will only be knitting socks once Sock Wars III starts on May 9.
