Huh. That's no fun at all

I cheerfully started the bangle pattern in the latest Bead and Button magazine.  The peyote base worked up fine with just one little mistake no one but me could ever find.  http://www.beadandbutton.com/Magazine/Current%20Issue.aspx  But the edging done in net stitches is wavy and not smooth as shown.  I could swear the size 11 beads are too large, or 3 of them per stitch is too many.  I have written the author, let's see if she responds.  I have a lot of work in this to have it look as awful as it does right now.   Huh.
