Hmm, what is this bleary picture from one in the morning? The last two stitches of Branching Out, finished at long last.

I’ll post a full post-mortem, including the pattern modification that I used to make it wider, once I get this blocked, since then I’ll have better pictures to accompany it. Besides, the jury’s still out on whether the modal in the cotton will make it too drapey when combined with the lace — only blocking will tell.
