I also enjoy lace pattern knitting and crochet. And I wanted to add that in addition to using lots of stitch markers I will sometimes use different styles of stitch markers to indicate where in a pattern I am. Or where I may have made a mistake if I’ve made one. I generally Braille my patterns onto large index cards and then make a small pattern book with each step having its own card. That way I can just flip to where I am.
