This is my first time using any sort of “lace” pattern. I got this yarn on sale it’s a giant ball. It’s Bernat Baby Sport so I found this pattern and am working on it.
I messed up the first try and ended up unravelling the whole thing. This is my second shot at it, and I was about 3 hours in when I realized I messed up the garter stitch on the side, but thanks to some kind folks here I was able to fix it without having to unravel the whole thing.
I took this photo before I had made the mistake. I have worked probably a total of 8 hours on it so far, so I do have a bit more than this photo shows.

It’s gorgeous! The perfect start to a perfect baby blanket.
By the way, you might want to insert a lifeline (and be sure to mark on your pattern where you put it, too) so if you mess up again, you don’t have to start over from the beginning; instead, you can just rip back to your lifeline and start from there.
That’s going to be a beautiful baby blanket. It’s a lovely pattern and it works well with the multicolor yarn. Can’t wait to see the complete blanket. I second the idea of the lifeline. You may not need it but just in case, it’ll save lots of time.
Slow progress but it’s coming along. I almost think it may not be wide enough. But I suppose I can just make it longer to make up for it being short in width.
Oh, dear! I’m sorry you had to frog again! As Antares mentioned lifelines can save a lot of time and frustration when knitting lace patterns. It always seems that when I add a lifeline, I never need it, but if I DON’T add one I always seem to make a mistake!
you know I added one and I keep moving it up every few rows but I find it really hard to knit the following row after inserting the life line because it makes it so tight.
Looks great! And I have been working on a bolero for a few days now and have unraveled it about 10 times after getting about 4-8 rows done because of a problem I didn’t realize and get to frustrated trying to fix it.
Yeah, that first row after you insert the lifeline can be a bit tricky; however, it all becomes worth it when you make a mistake and have to rip back! Trust me on this one!!!
