Wakame Lace Tunic progress

When last we checked in on the Wakame Lace Tunic, it was a scarf-like band of lace that was taking me forever to knit.



Since then, I've finished the bottom band and joined it with a three-needle bind-off, picked up stitches, and begun working the body in the round.



I'm happy with the way the lace looks (would be nice if I could photograph it in focus), and I enjoy knitting it in the round much more than I did knitting back and forth on straights. I'm sure a lot of it is to do with being able to read the lace better now, as well as having memorized the chart.



The three-needle bind-off doesn't look as terrible as I thought it would. Actually when it's stretched out (as it will be when it's blocked), it looks pretty neat and clean. I'm learning a lot of new construction techniques with this project, so it's quite interesting and enjoyable.

Since taking these photos I knit another body repeat and am getting close to where I would cast on for the sleeves. I'm looking forward to seeing how that works.

I want to have this tunic finished by the end of March (for a KAL, yes), and while I know it's hypothetically possible, I don't know if it's likely. I guess the only thing to do is knit and see.
