Branching Around

I started my Branching Out like forever ago and got stuck after abou seven repeats (in part because I had to redo every single row). So I sat down for two hours in a quiet place early in the morning and finally memorized the pattern. At first I had refused to use the chart because I thought it too hard. But it wasn't until I gave in and started using the chart that I was finally able to memorize the whole thing. It's much better now and I'm about 22 repeats in.

I'm using US#8 needles and some handspun wool/mohair/silk stuff from Northern Idaho (I live in Southwest Idaho). I have a picture on my blog (I can't figure out how to post a picture here...any help? I'm a bloggin' baby).
