Round 105: there's a missing yarnover at the beginning of the pattern repeat. I noticed this as an anomaly a while ago, and yup, it is indeed missing.
I'm done with the columns of twisted stitches, yay! I had been twisting them on intermediate rounds, so it's kind of nice to go back to not needing to think or count on the non-pattern rounds. Soon I will start the next set of leaf motifs, which will be part of this pattern all the way to the end. Plus I'll soon increase a bunch more stitches and then start on a new set of crossed-stitch motifs as the flower fully poofs out.
The large number of stitches is somewhat tedious. But there's enough variety that I'm still enjoying myself quite a lot.
My travel shawl is coming along nicely. I've finished the section with four sets of eyelet rounds. Now I do another section of garter, then a section with five sets of eyelets, then a few more rounds of garter stitch and then cast off. It's more than it sounds like since the rows have an ever-increasing number of stitches. But it feels like I'm getting a lot closer to the end than the beginning. The ball of yarn is quite noticeably smaller. All of this is subject to how much yarn I have, of course! If I run out sooner than expected, I'll cast off sooner, too.
It also means I need to give more thought to the next travel project(s). And, as I keep writing, I don't have enough projects on my needles and I really should cast on a few more -- a hat, a sweater, mitts or socks, etc., plus start planning the next semi-mindless shawl.
No pics today!
