A Descent into Madness Part 2

As you can see from the above picture, I finally lit a fire under my own butt and started the Lyra Doily. I have found the first few rows to fly by quickly and they have been somewhat easy to work. However, as I progress further into the project, I am finding it a bit more difficult to work, and sometimes have to rely more heavily on the chart as I go instead of my memory and my ability to repeat the pattern of stitches from it.

I've still got a way to go, but I think it may all go smoothly. However, I may be wrong.

A Descent into Madness: Knitting Lyra.

About a month ago, I made an aquisition that gave me a bit of a headache and made me swoon, not to mention scared the S**t out of me. I managed throught the Lacis website to purchause the pattern for Herbert Neibling's "Lyra" tablecloth pattern.

I then did the really dumb thing of buying the yarn and needles before recieving the pattern and now I am comitted to it.

Frankly, I may have to take a leave of absence from work and check myself into an asylum to knit this one.

However, I am comitted, and I will knit this amazing pattern for my Christmas Pattern if it kills my Family (note I did not say me).

I may need to order a set of lace blocking wires though.

Anyhow, Wish me luck as I go insane slowly.
