Yeah it's me with another thing that doesn't have to fit!
Here is a scarf I just taught a class in making. It is from the Victorian Lace Today book (I've downsized it for my petite wife who did not want a wide scarf).
It was made from Alpaca Sox yarn on a size 4 needle. I would have loved to have made it on a bigger needle so the pattern would have shown up more, but again...when I'm making it for the wife I make it the way the wife wants it. (After 34 years of marriage I've learned something - albeit not much.)
It also has #6 seed beads in it.

That is absolutely beautiful!!! Were the beads pre-strung? I've never worked with them before.

Hi Luke, No the beads were
Hi Luke,
No the beads were not pre strung. I thread them onto Oral B Superfloss (the kind used for braces) and then slide them onto the stitch where I want the bead placed. It sure beats the wear and tear on the yarn of stringing them on!
Here's a link that describes how to do it if you're interested: http://www.jung-at-heart.com/knitting/beads_on_floss.html
