My trellis lace scarf…gone, gone, gone! I should have known better than to work on it while trying to get my 5-year-old to stay in bed. I got distracted, dropped a stitch, then couldn’t figure out where it was and how to pick up again. Mind you, I hadn’t gone far, but I’ve had so little time to work on it lately that I feel like weeks of work are gone down the tube. Woe is me!!!
Now I’m aggravated enough with the whole situation that I’m considering just doing a different project. My life just isn’t conducive to “real” lace knitting right now. I have a couple scarves in mind or, maybe, I’ll just find a nice lace stitch pattern and make up a scarf on my own. Either way, I may end up with just one lace project at the end of this KAL…but so be it. At least I’ll have a finished product, right?
I’m so sorry things didn’t work out! That can really slow down your knitting groove.
Hang in there! If you choose something different, try something that has a simple, short repeat so you don’t have to read charts. It’s still “real” lace knitting and can look stunningly simple!

I know how you feel I’ve frogged so much and been really frustrated. Things are going better now so hang in there. I don’t think it matters how many projects you do. I’m sure I’ll only get one project done. I’ve decided that if I’m not enjoying a pattern I’m going to try a new pattern.
