Once I got the last little leaf done, I finished the rest of the bind off using two strands. It made that last stripe just a little beefier on the right side without being huge and out of proportion. Just perfect!

5/1: Done! I still have the ends of the last few leaves to weave in, but it is done. I did squeeze out another stripe with just a few yards left. I ended up getting 26 leaves and I really love it. It practically knit itself, which is unusual for me for garter stitch patterns like this.
4/30: I got one stripe and half a leaf done. 38g left. I think I’m going to try to squeeze one more stripe out but it’s going to be close.
4/29: Two stripes and 1.5 leaves done. 47g left.
4/28: I only got about a stripe and a leaf knit. Busy day. 65g left.
4/27: I got about 3 stripes and 3 leaves done today for a total of 21 leaves. According to my scale I knit 30g today (71g left), so I’m going with it. I only have about 30g of the pewter left, so the end is drawing near. This thing practically knit itself.
4/26: Just over more 4 stripes and 4 leaves done. 27 knit today (101g left). I’m really loving how this looks so far!
4/25: 3 more stripes and 3 more leaves done.
4/24: I got 5 stripes done and I’m up to 11 leaves.
4/22: 4 leaves done
