Okay, this rocks!

This is going much better since I dropped to a size 2 needle!



(Sorry for the rather crappy picture; I didn't want to take the time to go actually pin it out on a better background. Maybe when there's a little more of it done, I will get a better picture.)

So whatever the confusion with the pattern is, I'm sticking with what works for me. (Note to self - go order more yarn!).

The pattern is coming out much more clearly to me in this version, but more importantly for the short-term, it's so much easier to knit. I am up to row 28 - 2/3 of the length I got last time - and haven't had a single mistake. (knocking on wood)

I think the lack of mistakes is due to the fact that I can see what I'm doing so much better, and the whole pattern makes so much more sense now. I was even able to work on it a little bit last night while watching TV, something I never thought I'd be able to do. Granted, when it got to the interesting parts in the show, I did Put. The knitting. Down.

But anyway, I'm happy - and becoming very addicted to lace knitting.
