As I have been working on the English Rose tablecloth,which I posted a few days ago, I realized that one of ways that I save myself a lot of frustration is to highlight different portions of each unit repeat.
In the photo clip above I have highlighted the beginning of the “new leaf” in green, and the “old leaf” in yellow. This helps me know where I am in the pattern repeat, should I lay my work aside. The un-highlighted portions are the connecting patterns and divisions.
If it is something you haven’t already tried, you might find this method useful if you have trouble keeping your eyes focused on the proper line of instructions in your pattern, especially a lace pattern.
Just thought I would share.
Happy knitting- KT
