really, knitting is not supposed to be frustrating, right? i don't know what it is with me and these lace patterns that i drool over, try, then get so angry i want to poke at my eyes with the knitting needles.
i was so determined to do this sweater, ripping back, oh, maybe a zillion times, almost in tears. the gull lace pattern is very, very simple. the problem is i am just not experienced enough to tell where i have made a mistake, and i make lots, and lots of them. i kept ripping back a whole row, starting over, only to find out the mistake was in the row
