That was very cruel of me. I mean, to tell myself not to knit on the Cap until Brancing Out was nicely wrapped up. Actually it was torture. Torture is illegal.
Here's the result.
2½/9 of the way. That's around 400 of the 1475 rows.
By accident I found a new way (well new to me) of knitting on the border. I started out with 2 bamboo dpn's. That didn't work at all so used my shortest circular lace needle instead. It was quite a fuzz to pick up that one stitch from the center panel every other row. By accident I started knitting with the big circular with all the center panel stitches on. And that is SO much easier! Now I don't have to change needle all the time and I don't have to worry about the stitches falling off the big circular when it's just hanging there.
I was a little surpricing that you use slip stitches when you knit-on the border as it reduces the elasticity. But I guess it holds it all together a little. Just have to be carefull when blocking. And they look neat!

Your doing her proud! I'm torturing myself to finish some UFO''s and not start knitting purple lace mohair, which is my inclination whenever I see your cap. I knit the borders on the exact same way, glad you worked it out because its so much easier! BTW which needle size are you using?
