Thank goodness for lifelines! I just had to rip out 13 rows of lace because I dropped a stitch and couldn't recover the mistake. Believe me, I did try to fix it. Ugh. I was 7 rows from the end of the chart! 7 rows from starting the border to the shawl and getting it finished. I've already picked up the 349 stitches and everything looks okay. I don't think I have it in me to start knitting this chart over again though. Sometimes it's best to just walk away and come back to it later - later when I'm going to be less "ragey"about it and less likely to make another mistake. Did I mention that this yarn is lace weight? Very lace weight. I definitely see a glass of wine in my future, but for now I'll settle for reading book 6 of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
