I hate lace...

So after many hours of sitting in the health office queuing projects on ravelry and picking out the yarn on knitpicks, i needed a project. I went to Jo-Anns and found a ginormous skein of yarn, Bernat's Baby something or other. It has over 1000 yards to it. I said ginormous. So I decided to make the Cap Sleeved Eyelet Top from Hannah Fettigs Closely Knit book.

It appeared to be a slight challenge that might keep me occupied for a bit. However I had no idea what i was in for.

The rib on the bottom went along fine. Totally normal, nothing wrong with that. It wasn't until i reached the lace section that i'm debating whether or not I actually wanted a project, slight challenge or not, at all.

I made my way through the first set of V's when I realized I had missed bits and dropped some stitches along the way. An overall horrible job, but since I was learning the lace bit I was only mildly frustrated and ripped back and put it back on the needles to start over again.

I got sick, became unable to count correctly, partially why there was so much wrong with the first V's, and I put it down for a couple days.

Today I have picked it back up, made it through the first AND second V's perfectly, until the pattern now is telling me something i can't quite understand. After decifering it, and looking at all the completed projects on ravelry, I have realized I was not to do the second V's until i started my decreases. So yet again I have ripped back. I now have one set of V's on the needles and am getting frustrated with the last hour and a half wasted to only knit 9 rows and now rip them back.

Here is what it should look like in the end, only mine will be white. Notice the 4 V's on the bottom half and not 5 like it would have been if I did not rip back.

I hate lace.
