164 and 3/2 Eyelets

The latest on the Whitework project:

Ten hours in and I have completed all one hundred and sixty four eyelets and three half eyelets.

Lessons learned?

First, watch your tension. I wasn't used to working on a ring and there are times I forgot to check the tension on the linen. Result, squint eyelet!

Second, work in the same direction. When I started, I worked the first row from top to bottom and the second from bottom up. I decided it didn't look right so I ripped it out and worked all the rows from top to bottom. Maybe just me, but it felt better.

Third, avoid eyelets in large numbers.
