I have been knitting on my Hanami Stole almost every day and have passed the half-way point. With the lacy branch section completed, I am knitting the cherry blossom part of the stole. There is a lot more stockinette knitting which is going more quickly than the first part of the stole. I really like the Addi Turbo Lace needles, the pointier tips are helpful for completing all the slip, slip, knits and knit 2 togethers. I purchased 2 boxes of the blocking mats from Knit Picks. Each box has nine 12" x 12" mats with notches to link them to each other. I just might end up using most of them to block this project once it is completed.

Are the eyelets for the cherry blossom part really as random as they appear?
