As I have said many times, I am not a lace knitter, so I am quite astonished by the fact that I am successfully managing to knit holes in places where there are supposed to be holes.
It has taken me almost a whole sock, but I’m also starting to see how the pattern works instead of just following the chart blindly and hoping for the best and for once I can see where the next YO should fall and even spot where I have made a mistake in my counting.
I’m not yet at the stage of having the chart committed to memory, but it’s definitely getting more familiar.
So much so that I am assigning “hooks” to each row, the last two are easy – 434 and 353, but I had a Eureka! moment half an hour ago when I realised that row 4 has a musical and movie connection.
… except that it’s not 633 Squadron, but the lesser known, but I am sure equally valiant 623 Squadron!!!
Oh well.

Suitably stirring but she does find it a bit warm when the stove is on as she refuses to take off her sheep skin flying jacket, fur lined boots and flying helmet. The goggles remain regardless as a health and safety requirement the needles are moving faster than a 4 person bobsleigh such is her commitment to the knitting Olympiad.
Chuckle chuckle.
I would love to see a photo of that!
You have to admit the socks are worth the effort – they are very very pretty!
Beautiful socks and well done on mastering lace charts. It’s so satisfying when you realise you can spot mistakes.
They are looking great! And seem to be flying along too.
It pleases me greatly that you have now proved to yourself that you CAN knit lace. It was so easy you didn’t even realise you were doing it!
