Final Stretch

23 days until the project is due, not including event day.
I still have a sample on the pillow before starting the final piece.
This puts me into serious crunch territory, but I'll be fighting to the end - for better or worse.

On a brighter note, I met with the final receipient and presented her with the samples completed - we have selected a pattern for the final piece.
I'll be producing Pattern 2 (the simple mouse ear edging) in linen.

As you can see above, I have some discrepancies between picot sizes.  I’ve also marked a spot where I didn’t tension the braid enough while making the two picots, one opposite sides of the plait. The gap is not pretty looking. Something I must watch out for in the future.

I was able to whip up the silk piece in less than three evenings.  Having disliked the look of the simple twist picot on the cotton and linen pieces, I decided to abandon it here.  In the photo above I have lined up all of the twisted double picots to the left, the single loop picots in the center, and the twisted picots to the right. The entomology pins are not strong enough to create picots around, so I used the Dritz Bridal and Lace pins – the larger diameter makes for more pronounced picots.
