Lacey Motif Thing

Hiya from a.,
Sorry for the slightly longer than average pause in posts, but we've been mired in phd rewrites here, so there has been a lot of projects that have been worked on, but not a lot of things finished (plus a week ago we had worker guys in our apartment for three days which threw our whole rhythm off).  So there is an almost done quilt thing, 1.33 socks done, a few more squares added to the big thing, half of a short skirt for a thing that is happening Monday night, .30 of a shawl in crochet thread (which by the way I love working with crochet thread, but you'll here more about that when it is done).  But there is also one completed project.  There was a pattern I loved by Robyn Chachula so I did the ravelry download.  She is actually one of my favourite pattern writers for crochet out there.  A lot of her work is about joined motifs making something awesome.  Now here is the something awesome:

Pretty right?  I did the central motifs which were a join as you go and then you build the chain stitch around all those joined motifs.  According the pattern there were supposed to be more middle flowers but I was using both a thicker yarn, and a bigger hook, so I met the measurements for the center a lot quicker. 
It looks even better when worn:

So there it is an actual completed project, which for the last couple weeks of scattered crafting, makes me happy.
Take care.
