Ack! Lace!

Had my last lace class today.  I think I may finally have the hang of this!   I just don't understand why it is so hard!  I mean, I can k2tog, I can K, I can P, , I can YO and I can slip a stitch...so WHY OH WHY do I keep messing it up?????

The girls at the knit shop were going through a basket of glass buttons today and I was able to do several rows without messing up.  They were over and across the table I was sitting at.  YEAH!  I can't tell you the amount of concentration that took.  Whew!

Here is a photo of the project...

Thank goodness for the life lines!
