All the updates

 Progress pics for all my current active projects! First, the Terrestrial Top, is so close. So close.

Both armholes have been knit and one side has been sewn. I opted not to block the lace. I usually don't block my garments anyway, trusting that my shaping while knitting and then how it'll hang on my actual body to keep the thing in shape. Also, I want instant gratification and blocking takes too much time.

I'm still chugging away on Peace Lily:

The garter stitch part went so quick! Now the sleeves are taking foreeeeeever.

Biggest update, I have finished the back panel for Madam Butterfly!

I just have to do the initial bit on the bottom of the etui there, and then this piece will be done and I can start the interior panels. Hilariously, this is really the first time I've looked at this panel right-side-up. It's stitched upside down. I still really love these flowers. I did have to make a tweak on the centers though; they're designed with little over-1 straight stitches, which I could not figure out how to do and not have the silk slide under the linen. :( So I cheated and did upright crosses instead. It does give the centers a different look, mine are probably not as delicate as the original. But it gets the job done so I'm calling this a win.
