I cast this on in late September and get about 2 centimeters done most days (usually in the morning). I've still got about ten centimeters before I finish the back panel ????. It's a gift for my wife, and I'm thankful that the pattern feels interesting and forgiving, so I'm not tired of it yet!

I've been able to catch mistakes pretty quickly so far, thankfully. If I hustle I may be able to finish by her birthday in March (optimistic much?)
