Lace requires so much concentration, at least for me. I'm working on a simple lace scarf right now and I have learned I cannot reliably count to 7, 8, or 9. I've become expert at tinking back. I think I have spent as much time tinking as I have knitting. And if you want to sip a glass of wine while you're knitting, forget it. And forget any movie watching if there is any action at all as well. 8 of 25 lace repeats are done. A nice pair of socks would have been finished long before now. Sigh. Oh, I sympathize.

And if you still think you'll run out of yarn, leave off the last repeat. Just make sure the top edge is a multiple of 6 (I think it's 6) or the edging won't fit.

I'm so close to being done with a shawl - but I made a mistake near one of the last row repeats, and have made negative progress since then. For some reason, the edging became an impossible task, as the pattern then changed. Hopefully this last attempt will solve the problem. As frustrating as it was, I really enjoyed it.
