April 6th 2011: I finished the first panel and the dividing rows. So far , so good, no corrections to make. Make sure you always add the 4 extra stitches at the beginning of your repeat though, I think Nicky Epstein could have
incorporated it into the pattern…
April 13th 2011: 20 rows to finish second repeat of tree of life motifs and body of throw. Must follow instructions carefully here…
April 15th 2011: finished the body!
April 20th 2011: still knitting the leaves/tulips(three a day). Very uneventful border, but it’s time to start sewing it to the body, so I can estimate how many more repeats still to go…
April 29th 2011: finished, at last! Now I have to block it. How do I block acrylic decently?

An Italian translation of this pattern can be found here in my blog: http://francesca-oltreoceano.blogspot.com/2011/06/la-cope...
