Swirling Around

Current progress:

The piece is growing, and I've started to make the strips wider.

It makes me think of hurricanes.

The funny thing is that I reversed the pattern from the picture I was using as inspiration, so I've had to scan and flip it. I find that I do that fairly often, mirror-image the pattern. I'm not sure why that is, but perhaps it is due to the nature of knitting: I look at the pattern left-to-right, but my knitting is made right-to-left.

Proof that I'm a little backwards?
