I have decided that I will learn how to knit lace. I chose a very lovely basil colored yarn that is a delight to knit with in a lace weight, found a scarf pattern in the 1 skein wonders book and started to knit.
I knitted 8 rows of straight knitting. Everything was nice and even, gage was happening. Life was good.
I started the pattern. The first row went off without a hitch. Life was getting better. I thought to myself, "This isn't so hard! I have no clue what other knitters are kavitching about. I don't need to put in a ripline!!! I'm good."
Isn't karma a bitch?
The second row ended up with one too many stitches. Never fear! Super knitter is here!!! I will figure out the problem in the next row and fix it as I knit.
The third row ended with one too many stitches. My bubble burst. Only three rows into the pattern and I'm a stitch over on two of those rows. Curses!!!!
I took a deep breath. Cursed a blue streak. Then I calmly took the entire thing off the needle and frogged it back to the start.
And thus the reason riplines were created. Lesson learned for today.
