This project has followed me around for a year and a half. I think I am actually having a bit of separation anxiety here in the space between projects. The main body was a garter stitch breeze to knit, but that lace edge was not the "quick bit of lace fluff" that I thought it would be.
This has very little to do with the pattern, and mainly to do with my incompetence/fear of reading charts and hatred of doing purl rows in a lace pattern. Then there was the day I picked it up and knit half a row in the wrong direction before realizing what I had done. Thankfully, I have a very competent knitting emergency staff (mom) who was able to undo my damage while muttering "do you have to knit soooo tightly" under her breath. I spent many hours thinking to myself that I should go do just one row, and very little time actually doing them. I mean, it is only 20 rows of lace. I am not a disciplined knitter. I can accept this about myself.
