Lace is for Masochists

This morning I had to rip the Jadis shawl back to the end of the short rows. So that's row 1-5 of the chart which took about 3 freaking hours because of how slow and careful I was trying to be and also because lace knitting is just slow going for me anyway. The worst part was that somehow 1/3 of my lifeline at the 195 stitch mark came out, otherwise I would have been able to rip back to there instead and not lost all of the lace. Sigh. Starting to wonder if I will ever be able to conquer this. :|

On Sunday I began the blocking process for the afghan squares that are done. I'm nearly done with the second rosebud trellis and after that the only one left is the second beansprouts square. The second rosebud trellis is going to be pretty perfect compared to the fudgy first one which makes me wonder if I should re-do that one, but I think I am gonna be lazy.

I also need to finally finish the golf club covers. I meant to do that this weekend, but I worked on the shawl instead and of course that all went down the drain. :(

annnnnnd oh my god but I think I am realizing that I didn't even do the first part of the shawl right. I think I went from the twisted stitches into the short rows without doing the snowflakes chart. Don't think I can bring myself to go back that far again. Christ.
