But you can see bits of leaves and the crossed stitches of the flower.
Two more chart errors:
Round 141: There is a missing yarnover at the very beginning of the pattern repeat.
Round 153: Ditto -- a missing yarnover at the very beginning of the pattern repeat.
Both of these are in a section of the pattern where every 4th round begins and ends with a yarnover. It's pretty obvious that the yarnovers are missing in the above rounds. I'm not at round 153 yet but listed the chart error already because it's so obvious.
I've finished another partial ball of thread (early in round 146) and am on to the next! It was attached to a project already when I bought the thread, a pretty little piece of filet crochet. I cut it off since it would have been a pain to unravel and re-block the thread while it was still attached to the unused thread wound on the cardboard tube. Maybe I'll eventually unravel and re-block and use the thread, and maybe I'll leave the filet crochet project alone in honor of the person who crocheted it, wherever he/she may be these days. I'm sorry their project never got finished and never got used. I certainly won't be the one to do it. Not only do I have no idea what the finished project was intended to be (and how many more motifs it might have contained), but I don't particularly enjoy doing filet crochet.
I am at around the midpoint of this doily, maybe a little bit beyond, with close to 3/4 of the rounds being done. Soon I will move to the 60" long needle, which is the longest I currently own.
The rest of the doily doesn't have anything too wild and crazy, not like the earlier parts. It'll be the leaf motifs, lots of hex mesh, and then the outer triple-fans with 12 pattern repeats per round. Hopefully I'll be able to stay focused, especially when the stitch counts really start climbing.
My travel knitting project is close to done. I'm starting the final block of yarnovers. I don't know if I'll get through the remainder of the pattern as written or if I will run out of yarn and end the shawl a little bit earlier. Either way, it'll be OK. And either way, I really do need to figure out the next travel knitting project!
