[...] knitting time. Can you believe that I have only two WIPs right now, this one and the never-ending sampler shawl? The lace, of course, will take still more time, but let’s hope this mostly-stockinette [...]

[...] with the saturation that I haven’t knit anything non-red or non-crimson in nearly a year. My sampler shawl is also this color, and the BPT cardigan was a similar shade too. I think I need to look at some [...]

Wonderful lace knitting! I love knitting lace!
Hint: to put in lifeline, hold working yarn and lifeline yarn in opposite hands and work in lifeline yarn as if doing a float on intarsia knitting at the same time you knit a row of lace with working yarn. I like to work the lifeline in every other stitch, you know, make the float every other stitch. Of course this will only attach lifeline to the wrong side of the work, but it is an easy and quick way to do it.
I wanted to thank you for the hammer and sickle graph. I am knitting a hat for a friend with unique political views, too, and finally found your web-site with the graph! Thank you so much! Graphing drives me batty!

sorry to hear you were sick… hope you’re getting a lot of rest and pampering!

the lace looks really good btw….and faggoting really is a )(*&^%$^&(*). I did a WHOLE BL**** SCARF in the stitch to try memorize it last year (i know….bad idea. i somehow convinced myself that muscle memory will work here, but that happened only for the frogging), and am yet to get back to knitting after that trauma.

Oh-ho-ho, I’m going to remember this post much longer than a year. Brilliant. It works for faggotting as well as non-faggotting readers of the blog. In life as in lace? (And will you please take off the nonsensical question at the end of the Comment field trying to figure whether the readers are faggotted or not?)

It’s beautiful… as far as I know, the only easier way to do lifelines is if you have knitpicks interchangeable needles (or maybe also other interchangeables). They have a little hole in them where you insert the key to tighten or loosen them, and you can thread your lifeline through them and it gets threaded through as you knit the row. Probably not all that helpful right now, but perhaps for the future?
