Sahara up and running

I cast on for Sahara originally with a wool blend. Turns out I wasn't too thrilled with it so I perused the local Hobby Lobby and picked out this gorgeous cheneile in a green I love. I can't wait to get to work on this baby in the round. Only a few more rows till I'm there! With the cheneile the gauge is only slightly off, but I'm liking the measurements using the size small pattern. I'm thinking of working beading into it as well, but think with the cheniele and my shirt being two toned, I am thinking I don't want to over do it. We'll see......
