Star Trek and lace

I spent a fair chunk of yesterday knitting lace while watching episodes Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. No wonder some of my co-workers don’t know what to make of me.

FPS is still going beautifully – I just finished the fourth tier. No pictures yet, because there’s only so many in progress pics I can take of this project. Besides, if I wait another tier or two, I can get a much nicer picture of the lace part (rather than all the bunching up around the needles).

I’ve made some progress on Lotus Blossom as well:

I’m partway through the second chart. I’m debating on whether I’ll need to modify the pattern to feature longer stems… the shawl seems tiny right now, and I’m not sure just how much larger I can block it. I guess I’ll just wait and see how it looks once I finish chart 2 before I make up my mind.

I’m not thrilled with the color distribution, but that’s what I get for using such a contrast-y yarn. (It didn’t look that bad when I ordered it!) Oh well. It’s better suited for this project than it is for my other pipeline lace projects, so…

And no, I didn’t finish my right glove over the weekend. However did you guess? :-P
