Notes 2020: 
12 December - taking a stab at this again. I bought it over 3 years ago, just before my cognitive impairments due to illness began. It is difficult to work from written patterns that are non-standard (designer has made up own abbreviations for stitches to carry/hide other color). I've enlarged one of his photos, cropped it to just over 1/4 of the doily, and printed that out in black and white to use like a chart. Tonight I've re-read his pattern notes on how to carry the threads. I can do this. :)

13 December - Rnds 1-5. Took quite a while, a lot of this is untangling threads due to the process. I'm getting better at moving them though. 

16 December - rnds 6-start of 9

Notes 2022 - when I picked this up again, and began working on it, I noticed it was cupping way too much. Then I realized I'd made a pretty bad error back at round 6.  I started trying to frog back, realized that was a poor choice for tapestry, and cut off to restart. 

30 Oct - after messing with the photo again, and even trying to color on it, I see that I'm going to keep making the same errors. I should use the same colors and the IDEA of the tapestry crochet on a different pattern. Marking this frogged.
