Fabulous fair isle

Obviously I was a wild child, I tried making a pair of socks and it was boring, I couldn't do it
so I frogged them
and decided I know I'll make a lace weight fair isle on 1.75mm dpns in the round with Steeking.
it's turning out lovely, no really, all 12 rows of it so far, but it's so delicate that I'm terrified I'm going to ruin it
it's going to take an age
and there's not enough of it to take a photo yet, it's less than an inch long. I'm going to have to make Belle a white blouse and grey skirt to go with, or maybe grey pants, definitely grey
I'm using baby pink, rose and pale grey as the base. I'll show photos when there's more
