Stella Maris

Not really the most appropriate name for this project, but I like it. The lace is coming along – the likely-hood of my finishing this by the end of August is minimal, but it is coming along.

Here she is in all her ten repeat glory:

Note the lifelines at the end of every pattern repeat. I am getting about a repeat per inch, and am aiming for 36 pattern repeats for this panel — when the panel is done, I’ll knit on a wave pattern edging, then block the dickens out of it. I think I may need to block it lightly before adding the edging though, so the selvedges are clear for me to work with.

And if you can’t see it clearly in that picture, check the close up. Green = my yarn. Orange = embroidery floss.
