Progress...but not fast enough

Getting there. I am starting to get the hang of the pattern on the lace but it is still slow going. I finally got smart and started using stitch markers to mark my repeats and inserted a life line (just in case) and I am just plugging away. I made all of the previous progress on day one and then took a full day off of that particular piece of knitting. I knit some more on it yesterday but was not feeling well so I didn't get through one repeat of the pattern, but most of it. Anyway here are some progress pictures of the lace:

Oh and I took the merino/tencel off of the spindle...the cop was full and I was on other projects. So I need to set the twist and keep going as I only have about 73 yards (not enough to get much done...) mind you it is all plied as I go so that takes up quite a bit more of the cop than it would if it were singles...so it just means smaller skeins in greater numbers.
