Despite the speed of the days, work on the lace tunic has just crawled. But Friday night, I finally got the back done and on the blocking board (and one of these days, I really need to invest in some blocking wires)
When I cast off, the length was somewhere around 26 inches. The pattern, as written, said it would be 30 inches after blocking. But I'd added three extra repeats for just a bit more length. And I got a nice respectable 36 inches out of it.
Of course... I can't get too excited. I still have to knit the front...AND both sleeves. I'm in this one for the long haul!

Such a beautiful lace pattern!
It's gorgeous!! That's one of my most favorite colors and you've totally done it justice.
That is an amazing piece of lace! I can't wait to see the rest of it. Knit on, it's gorgeous.
It really is lovely and your blocking advice is spot on. It just blooms, but I haven't got your amazing patience and skill. Wow, it's already a beauty.
