Last week, I finally finished the basketweave section of my Hanami. I say finally, but I am in no rush to finish this as it is a goodbye gift for my tea ceremony teacher and now I know that I'll be around for more than another year. But it is a fun knit, and good to knit lace again instead of just zoning out on the stockinette and crochet projects that I had been working on previously.

I really love this sachiko section. The lace pattern is interesting but easy to remember so I really didn't have to do any ripping or stressing about mistakes (if you see any, just don't tell me!). Now I'm on the falling petals sections. It involves a lot more stockinette but the "random" petals are getting more and more frequent so the knitting is getting fun again.

I wish I could balance my projects more evenly, but I always find myself hooked on one thing for a few days and then hooked on something else after that. I want to get back to Ms. Marigold soon so that I can actually wear it before it gets too hot!
