This is the name I have given on Ravelry to the project I referred to recently as 'a very lacy scarf that takes a lot of concentration'. A couple of days ago I finally finished Section 1 or the 'set up' section as the pattern refers to it. This felt like such an achievement I took a photo.
Because the first yarn is so dark it's quite difficult to see the lace in all its horror loveliness, but that will become visible as I work my way through the lighter coloured yarns. Look out for monthly progress photos beside those of the Earthdancer cross stitch.
The whole project is a half advent set from 2023. Dyers are starting to release details of their advents for this year and the OH is keen for me to choose one for my Christmas present, but I feel that I ought to use up/finish using some of the advents I already have before committing to any more. I saw the box with this one on the shelves in my craft room recently and thought 'is that an advent?' and when I saw which one it was I naively thought, well that's only a half one I can blast through that. I was wrong. It's going to be a long and painful process but when it's finished it will be beautiful. So beautiful and so difficult to produce I'll probably never dare wear it!
You can do it! I believe in you! Also, rather you than me ;)
