On a recent transatlantic plane flight I made substantial progress on the Branching Out lace scarf:
Interestingly, I find that it's easier for me to knit this pattern from instructions instead of from a chart; usually I'm a visual person, but for some reason the chart slows me down. I wonder if it'll be that way for me for lace in general.
The yarn, Rowan Kidsilk Haze, is of course a joy to work. In fact, when I was in London I almost bought more to make more scarves like this one and Ene's shawl from Shawl Style, because Liberty had the yarn in more colors than I've ever seen before. But the exchange rate is so appalling that I couldn't justify it.
