Really, though, it's coming along; maybe not the fastest progress but still relatively steady.
I'm done with the flowers. No more crossed stitches. That feels kind of weird after so many hundreds of them in this pattern so far. But nope, they're done. Now it's time for the final set of leaves, which will soon match the other leaves that started a while back, as the pattern transitions from 6 to 12 pattern repeats per round. After that, the outer fans will start and the number of stitches will climb quickly, but that's not for a while yet.
I'm probably close to half-done with the pattern, give or take a bit. Wow. I'm also just about done with the current partial ball of thread. I have a few more partial balls left before I'd need to start one of the full balls of this stuff. (I have three full balls or 350 yards each in addition to all the partial balls.)
A few more chart errors:
Round 127: A missing yarnover between the left side of the flower and the hex mesh section. It should be (yo, sk2p) after all of the crossed stitches.
Round 135: 2 errors in this row! There's an extra yarnover to the left of the crossed-stitch section (the right side of the crossed-stitch section has the correct single yarnover), and also an extra yarnover in the center section of the leaves (there should be no double yarnovers in the leaf motif area, just single yarnovers).
So far, all of the chart errors have been more like typos than errors. They're all fairly minor and all fairly obvious. I hope that continues, should there be more errors up ahead. I assume there will be more of these chart typos, because why wouldn't there be?
As part of my final posts on this doily, after it's completed, I'll have a list of all the chart errors in this pattern. That might be in 2025, or maybe not until 2026 or beyond. We'll see! So far, I'm pleased with my knitting stamina. But I often get the doldrums between half and two-thirds to three-quarters done. I'm trying not to push myself too hard and also mixing this in with a lot of other fun things.
No photos for this post!
