Self-isolation boredom buster

I have embarked on a knitting project which will take months. It is a knitted lace dress. It is knitted with lace weight yarn (65% cotton and 35% silk) on 3.75mm needles. Knitted in the round starting at the hem it has over 500 stitches on the circular needle.
In the centre of the photo is the swatch knitted to check the tension and shows what it will look like when it has been washed and blocked to shape to dry. The piece hanging over the stand in the top left corner is what I have done so far - 32 rows, measuring about 4.5 inches - so a long way to go!
