Final reminder: the blogiversary contest ends tonight at 9pm EST. Of course, when I set the time I forgot about daylight savings so make that 10pm EDT!
Note to self: place stitch markers for lace repeat the round before you start the lace!
In other words, I have started the lace section of the artichoke ripples skirt and I have screwed it up twice through miscounting! The pattern repeats every 14 stitches so I have been placing a marker every 14 stitches... except where I placed it after 11 stitches. That was before I figured out I should actually count the stitches out rather than only following the pattern. Luckily, I stopped half way round and went back to check and fixed it. Except that I didn't fix it correctly and didn't discover that until I was done and had one stitch too many remaining. At that point, I decided it was time to go to bed!
It would be much easier to count while I wasn't also trying to follow the lace pattern ie during the last knit row before starting the lace. Therefore I am going to rip back and do just that!
