[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Woe is me

[Dixie]

Oh Tracy, I feel your pain.

I am so bad at ripping back and starting up from my lifelines, that I leave
at least 3 in my work, giving me 3 chances to succeed instead of just the
one.

I think I'm getting cooking on my beautiful lace shawl, and then another
problem crops up. 

First, there are errors in the transcription, so I had to find a way to read
the bad lines in the chart and get them right.  I'd done some before I
figured that out, so I had to rip it back.  I was able to use my Optacon to
read the chart, which is fantastic.  An Optacon is an old device that's no
longer made.  It can read anything I can make big enough and figure out
myself.  There's no software, just my brain. 

Now, I was going along great, and I pulled out my lifeline to put it in a
new place, only to discover that I have a big hole in one place a few rows
back.  So I either have to use a bit of yarn to fudge and fix it, or
carefully un-knit 4 or 5 rows of lace, hoping I don't make a bigger mess
doing so.

I feel like I'm going to be reworking these 30 rows beginning the chart for
months.  Woe is me.

Tracy
