Needles and Pins.....

I had decided to knit the shawl on size 5 needles - I knit the pink shawl on size 5's and loved the fabric...but...I decided to swatch on 4's and play with the beads....instead of soaking the swatch, I briefly ran it under water...and stretched it like crazy. Needless to say, I don't care for this swatch...will stick with the 5's....
