I have picked up a pair of socks that I had set aside to think about for a while, and I maybe needed to think about it a little longer because I started making mistakes immediately.

.....
The most complicated project I ever did... torn between two of them.
Celestarium is many pages of non-repeating chart, and I made it harder on myself by using different sizes of bead for different magnitudes of star. But... except for the beads, it was stockinette stitch in the round? once I figured out the chart management it was pretty straightforward.

Sheherazade is ye olde Extremely Dramatic Beaded Lace Shawl, which I upped the difficulty factor on by trying to use the entire ball of yarn. I needed a spreadsheet to track stitches knitted vs yarn remaining.

Of the two, Celestarium is the one that other knitters comment on when I wear it, so... :)
