Or, alternately, "Wow, she actually started it again."

How about "Yeah, unblocked lace looks like crap?"

Nah?  Okay, we’ll skip the caption contest.  Especially since it’s 4am.  But I’m happy I got past the first chart (finally!) and one full repeat into the body.  Good news, right?

Bad news:  This represents 2.1% of the entire shawl, according to the spreadsheet I have.

Yeah.

Oh, and I completely recommend dental floss lifelines.  I tried crochet cotton before, and it was just a huge pain in the ass.  Too thick, so it made the stitches in the next row extra difficult.  The floss is much easier to work with.  Except for when I had a ditz moment and was looking for something to cut the floss with.  And this after remembering that some traveling knitters take a pack of dental floss with them on the plane, so they can cut their yarn without scissors.

I’m not always the brightest bulb.

Anyway, here it is, and it shouldn’t go backwards from here.  I hope.

If you’re all good, maybe I’ll link you to my favorite stormtrooper’s website tomorrow.  He is, after all, a sexy bitch.
