Well, I am within 50 rows of finishing this first half of Eve and I have some uncertainty about elements of this central motif.
Here is how it looks today, just a few rows to do before starting the branches of the tree -- no blocking has been done at all, so it looks a bit lumpy --

So here is what I am uncertain about:
1. does the border pattern which outlines this section, those little donuts, stand out enough?
2. should there be a bead in the center of each donut?
3. is the reverse stockinette which sets off the tree too solid looking? Keep in mind that the branches will be very lacy.
Please give me your thoughts.
