King Lir
Or should that be Queen Lir? Anyhoo, I finally found my camera so here's a lace update:
The Children of the Lir Stole is about a third of the way done. I love this project. It is maybe the best newbie lace stole/shawl knitting project ever! I'm modifying it to further idiot-proof by knitting end to end instead of from the middle out. I've never been good the at provisional cast on and didn't even want to bother. I love that there's no edging to knit on after you're done. It's so simple.
I forget where I read this, but probably the best lace tip I've received is to write down each line on a separate index card, and flip when you complete that row. I haven't messed up yet.

Hmm.. That's a really good tip! I'll have to try that!
So that's why you had a stack of index cards last week :) Neat Tip
Oooooo...The lace is looking lovely. Sigh. My mom likes the index card trick too. She used it for Clapotis until she got used to the repeats.
LOVE it! And thanks for reminding me just why it was I bought those darn index cards that are tucked in my knitting corner... lol!
I learned that card tip for cables when I took a class to make a Fisherman's Sweater. It had so much going on that the cards were a life saver!
(You def. don't want it to be Queen -- she was mean!) the stole is gorgeous and after reading youor post last night, I bought some 1/2 sized index cards. Here's hoping!
That is gorgeous! I love it! Isn't it a great pattern? I think I'm going to make another shawl from that book. How's it feel???
