Libby, you have my complete admiration. I would have had a tantrum and chucked the whole lot on the woodburner by now!!!

I really want to do this, I have always wanted to do lace knitting and I am quite determined. As I am so tired it is something I can do sitting down, so no excuses.

I'm like that Libby, once I decide on something I HAVE to keep going till it's done! You'll find that the more you keep doing it the easier it'll get, till eventually you'll be a super duper lace knitter. Very Happy

How about putting in a 'life line', scroll down a bit and there is a little video on how to do it.

It just means the more stitches you have on the needle and hopefully you won't go wrong but if you do, you can go back to the 'life line' and not all the way back to the beginning.

You are a star for carrying on Very Happy
