I can't believe that this simple pattern had me tearing my hair out! I frogged the damn thing two times...and probably should have frogged back the last repeat. Somehow I kept ending up with 9 or 11 stitches in several of the lace sections instead of the necessary 10, despite ferocious counting. Obviously I am innumerate.
I didn't frog it back, I just fudged my way through it. Even going up two needle sizes didn't save this from being a bit too tight for the intended recipient. If I make this pattern again, I'm definitely adding an additional section. So I'm going to revise my list. :)
It's being modeled by Usna, who is none too happy with me here.

And here's a picture of Odhinn, just because I can't resist...it's just so typical of my little boy cat.

I cast on another lace project this afternoon which so far is going MUCH more smoothly...although I may need to get another skein of the yarn. sigh.
