More bits and pieces are accumulating. You can see I'm more than half way done with the second meta-motif. I've got two triangles to sew on (I don't actually do the stitching until the squares on both sides of a triangle are complete.



In this photo you can better see what the motifs look like individually. The center hex is pretty straightforward. The triangle is knit base to tip. The tip's center is a textured stitch. The square (shown attached to the center hex at the bottom right) also features the same textured area in the parallelograms that flank its center spine. When the motifs are placed together, these textured areas join up to make the star-shaped framing device that surrounds the center hex's flower.

Unfortunately this sort of project isn't very good for blog progress reporting. From here on in it's going to be more photos of exactly the same thing, done again and again and again and again. You get the idea. I'll probably mark the completion of each meta-unit, and show a couple more photos of significant milestones - like joining the motifs using the plain triangles I wrote about last week, but I'll try to avoid boring everyone with needless repetition. Which means I'll have to think up something else to write about.
