(Please overlook the shoddy knitting I am a beginner.) I am enjoying knitting this. As far as the Luna, the shiny strand tends to split off easily and I have lots of snags that I'm trying to tuck to the back. The dull strand is quite a contrast to the shiny one.

I spent quite a bit of time trying to get gauge, but proceeded with size US 5 Denise circulars. I tried doing the provisional cast-on, but was not successful with it. And since I have so little experience, I was not sure which direction to proceed from there anyway. (I have lots of experience reading crochet patterns, which helps immensely, but knitting...not so much.) So I am technically doing the Tivoli with the straight edge, I guess. I will probably do a row of single crochet at the edges or just iron it well. Any suggestions are welcome.
I am enjoying knitting this because I love to learn new things. It is rather challenging not using a beginner's pattern. Slowly, but surely ... I can't wait to see how this turns out!
