koshka_the_cat talked me off a ledge, and the pineapple sat in the naughty pile a suitably long time I picked up the pineapple and tried again. Thank you for all of the constructive suggestions!!! I really appreciate them.
This time I downgraded the # of stitches I cast on to 260 and only beaded every other stitch (Perkoshka_the_cat's recommendation). She had the smarts to look at the original I was copying, and oh look it's only beaded every other *headdesk* someday I'll learn. I also switched the beads from the short tail end to the ball end. I had read online that the beads went on the short one which patently did not work for me.
So take two. I got it all cast on, I even managed to knit four rows and see the pattern develop! I was so pleased....until I realised that it was twisted somehow when I connected the circle. Despite futzing with it for 30 min trying to make sure it wasn't. I seem to have this issue a lot when knitting in the round. So that was frogged.
mandie_rw told me I'm going to be very good at starting pineapples. "It's like a game that keeps sending you back to level 1" *sigh*
