Coming along well; the yarn has gone through a couple of colour changes, which is satisfying to see.

I’ve made a few mistakes (doing the 4 x tr + ch repeat either one stitch early or one stitch late, about three times so far), but managed to get the pattern back on track on the subsequent row, and it’s hard to see where the mistakes are.

Finished main pattern, need to sew in ends and decide whether to add tassels.

Decided on no tassels for now, but I have leftover yarn if I want to add them in future. I like the line of the oak-leaf ends as it is.

Summary: very satisfying project. Once I had done a few rows I memorised the pattern so it was a good one to do whilst watching TV or during Zoom calls with work. I wish the yarn cakes were more consistent with the gradient though - several times there is a join that cuts abruptly from one colour to a completely different one. Can’t complain too much I guess as it’s relatively cheap.
