I can’t remember, and can’t check because I don’t have it at home. From the photo I think you’re right. ?It makes sense to keep the floats short so they don’t catch on stuff. If you’re using a grabby wool it would probably be fine to have longer floats. ?

I had a question after watching the video. Maybe you'll remember. It looks as if you are catching the floats after every other stitch, like the Philosopher's Wool people used to recommend. Is that correct? I can see that you catching the working thread but I couldn't see why so I assumed this and want to verify that it is correct.
Glad you found the link?
It was a skill I’m glad I learned. Though I would have to relearn it now.?
My shawl is in my office - where I haven’t been since March. I should go get it and wear it at home, though that might jinx things and I’ll have to go back ?

Anmiryam, I’d also love to hear how the island is this year. When do you come back??
Jenny, I too thought I was the last one still working on this. It is good to hear that I am not.?
I searched for and found Steph’s video on how to do the colorwork while knitting left to right to avoid 2-color purling and am going to teach myself this technique. My goal is to have it done by Winter Solstice this year!? It is going to be gigantic I think. Maybe I’ll put it up as wall decor ツ

How’s the island this year, Anmiryam? I’m guessing you are still over there.
Loved the dog pics.
