And as you can see, I've made good progress! I got the back finished by Saturday morning, and by Sunday night I had completed the left and right front, and picked up the stitches around the neck and armholes.
I now have to pick up stitches from the bottom cast on edge to start the lace pattern. The pattern says to do this in two parts, back then front - but I think I will pick up and knit in the round (as someone suggested they would do on Ravelry, if they knit this again) to eliminate any side seams. At this rate, I might have this finished by the weekend :-)Oh, and I keep forgetting to tell you what my mystery photo was! Peaknit was right, it's a hat - staying on the 'band wagon' I had to try out Si Capitan just to see how it would turn out! I'm not much of a hat wearer so I doubt I will be wearing this, but Kristen looked kinda cute in it. If I knit this again I think I'd make the brim a little shorter for her, and use nicer yarn (this was just a test with some Lion Brand acrylic I had in stash!).

Gosh! You're really speeding ahead with this knit aren't you. And you've been a good girl about the gauge (I'm less than fastidious about mine!). It's looking great and I love the cap too.

Thanks for your nice comments on my blog. The Pi Shawl is the big round thing from Elizabeth Zimmermann- check ravelry for some of the lovely pics of this shawl especially the one knitted by brooklyntweed - it's gorgeous. Your camisole is knitting up really fast & I have been eyeing that book for a while.
