A few words of advice for others embarking on this project:
1. Don't downsize your needles. EZ recommends size 8s, and you should use them, even though it might seem weird knitting lace with such large needles.
2. Use a solid colored yarn. Not variegated. The ever expanding nature of this project means that some areas will pool, some will strip, and some will just be speckly.
So here are some pictures. There's more on my Ravelry project page.
