Posting after Mardi...Me too! The front is done, baby! I may just knuckle down today and do the back, too, if only to call it 'done'. A bit of sew up, blocking, then some bead sorting for embellishments. Chelle has mentioned me wearing it to Stitches Midwest and I might just do that. Especially if the conference center fights the August heat with intense air conditioning.
Will I do another? I already have five bags of yarn sorted for others. The shape may be changed a bit, if the current one isn't as flattering to my figure as I'd like. I'll post a current, finished picture of the first one as soon as I can.

I have bound off the front! Now I am working on the back edge. I know my Ocean will be a little different than the rest of yours, but I definitely want to get finished in time for wearing in California in just another week! I can save the embellishment for my return. It's so exciting to be this close to done! Yay!!!!!
Would I do another? ...Yeah, I think so!

Thank you for the posting and great comments.
I'm not quite up to the joining part yet. I still have to smooth out the flow of currents and get to the width that is needed, but soon...
I'll be doing some heavy sailing to catch up with the fleet. For now, over and out.

P.S.: Jane, you do great things, and I can't wait to get my hands on that book of yours.

I have a growing sense of excitement as I am nearly 10 inches into the sleeve of the front, and I can feel this long voyage is nearing the next step. With the weather warm now, I could be wearing it! I am thinking about jewels for the surface adornment. I have a lot of fresh water pearls that will look very nice, and I think I need something silvery with all my blues and greens. Mother of pearl something will be cool too. Gotta think ahead, as I am hoping to wear this on my trip to California at the end of this month! What is everyone else doing and planning? I don't have a blog site, so I can't post photos like some of you do, but I will send one to Jane soon.
