La Novia

I ran across the La Novia scarf pattern and just love it. Emailed the site before I bought it and asked about the stitches involved. What is it about designers that they don't tell you that in advance? I don't like buying a pattern and then finding out I don't know how to do the stitches.

Tried this over and over and over and just can't seem to keep the same number of stitches on the needle. WTHeck?

LYS suggested I start with an easier lace pattern called Falling Water.

Not sure I like this one as much so I haven't really decided to follow that advice. Maybe my LYS will do a class this year.
