Grrrrr!

I thought I might tackle a lace project. Apparently, though, that was a bit cocky of me. I'm now stuck on row 9, with the end three stitches of that row unaccounted for. And that's row 9 of 117 rows. And I can't tell if it's me or the pattern. I walked back through the previous row AND the current row and I've emailed the pattern's author hoping for clarification.

I'm pathetic.

Here's the inspiration picture:

Verdure lace scarf

Doing better this morning. I may still be pathetic...but not because of the lace. :) I frogged a couple of rows and figured out where I was going wrong. The math came out right this time.

ETA: I just finished row 13. Wow! Only 104 more rows to go. :)

Verdure scarf -- in process

"Row 25: Repeat row 2
"Row 26- row 42: repeat row 2 - row 18"

So, I repeat row 2, twice. Except I actually repeat it THREE times, because row 3 is "repeat row 2."

Arrgh!

I'm just starting row 27...which is row 3, which is actually row 2 again. But I am zipping along now that I have the pattern printed out and am marking off finished rows ON the pattern instead of relying on trying to read the monitor.

Here're a couple of in-progress photos from when I got home. They were taken at row 22 and you can actually see the leaf shape pattern starting to take shape:

A spanking! A spanking! And then...the Oral Sex!

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In January I helped rhiastarr hide a body (-173 points). In March on a flight to LA, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points). Last Wednesday I bought porn for meadmaker (-10 points). Last month I put gum in veshengri's hair (-12 points). Last Monday I invaded Iraq, broke it, and couldn't glue it back together before Mom got home (-1012 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-1247 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking! Sincerely, willowoak

Actually, I think I should get plus points for helping to hide the body. And the porn. *snerk*
