I chose a pattern based on my favorite wildflower and designed by an accomplished lace maker: Queen Anne’s Lace by MMario. I cast on at least 10 times, went all the way to 50 some rows and took the whole thing apart to begin again … have un-knit about ¼ the number of rows I have knit … and yet I press on, when the desire strikes. I’ve had a new surge of energy for the Queen, reaching 94 rows where I was placing my latest lifeline … and stitches slipped off as I worked the so-called lifeline. argh. What to do? after finishing this post i am going to count stitches, might have only been one - in which case i will fix it. Might be more which would be cause to fall back to last lifeline ... 10 rows ago (ouch). Either way, Queen Anne is possibly my most favorite knitting project, ever. Not to mention, this is wonderful education for when i finally use my handspun buffalo plied with silk of almost 1900 yards ... but that is another post for another day ;) for those who think it just looks like a yarn mess - when done it will be blocked and the pattern will come to life :)
