Thank Goodness for Lifelines

This weekend I worked on my lace shawl. I always make sure I work on it sitting down where I can lay out my pattern and focus on each row, so that I don’t make a mistake. Well, apparently I was too focused on the show I was watching and not enough on the shawl, because I ended up making a mistake. Thank goodness for my lifeline. I managed to rip back 3 rows to my lifeline, put the needle and stitch markers back in place and redo the row.

Of course it meant no progress, because as soon as I got all that done, the little one woke up from her nap, so the knitting had to be put away again. Go figure. So I only managed to complete one lace repeat rather than two this weekend like I was hoping.

In other knitting news, I’ve decided I need a "Vera Bradley" bag for my knitting. I’m coveting a soft, fabric-y squishy bag for my knitting. I’m currently using a Total Tote and I really like it, but for some reason, I know want a soft Vera bag. But I can’t really afford a Vera bag, so I think I’m going to head over to AC Moore this afternoon and get one of the knock-offs they have. But, hmm, I may just have to head over to the mall and check out the real Vera bags, just because.
