This is such a nice small project. Despite the time it’s taking me to get through it, it has been a really quick knit. I just don’t knit on it very often, but it’s nice to pick up every once in a while and get through a few rows. Today I even finished a whole repeat during my lunch break. I’m finding myself itching to block it more and more, as it doesn’t look that great in its unstretched state.

I’m trying to decide (before I even go to the store to look) what color ribbon I’m going to put in the middle. I may just go to the fabric store and find the-perfect color, but I can’t help thinking ahead. I’m not too enthused about the idea of using a light blue, but maybe a dull light blue would look good. I can’t think of any contrasting colors that would suit (no orange thank you very much). Black is just too dark for me; I want a little something that stands out.

All in all, a very satisfying pattern for a very satisfying knit. This has allowed me to use up a little bit of some lace weight yarn that I have which I don’t find incredibly exciting.
