Fixing Lace

March 27th, 2007

Breathe. BREATHE. Slowly, slowly, very v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, DON’T TENSE!

Gah, trying to fix mucked up lace is a very stressful endeavor.  I haven’t touched my lace project for days now because I messed up and didn’t want to deal with it. I had accidentally done two of the same pattern rows in a row, instead of alternating. This meant frogging back about 4 rows, so I set it aside for a while.

Well, tonight was the night to pick it back up again, and man it was minorly stressful. The frogging back wasn’t too hard at all. It was fixing the couple blips I made in frogging (frogging k2TOG in lace is a PAIN) that risked dropping stitches several rows. When I talk about stress, I mean potentially messing up in a way that would require me to rip out the whole thing and start again. Perhaps now is the time to finally put in that life-line in case I mess up again.

   See, THIS entry typifies exactly why I am afraid, oh so afraid, to start a lace project… I hope you were finally successful!

   What’s the worst that could happen? You’d mess up beyond fixing it, and start over Or, just give up and recognize you’ve learned something, only to use the yarn for something else.
