This is the Blue Curacao shawl from Amazing Crochet Lace. As you can see, it's not blue. It's barely lace. Remember who's wielding the hook.
One hopes that changing media will transform said one into a lace-making goddess change outcomes. Sadly, no. Lace continues to challenge. There will be two shells where there should be three, or a half shell where there should be a whole. Lace can be forgiving in that an extra hole or three won't mar the finished product, but it also has a way of bringing personality failings (impatience, carlessness) into the light. Who needs therapy when there's lace?
Progress, nonetheless is being made. This hapless hooker is finding crochet charts easier to read, in spite of their kinship to Rorschachs. (Or smashed spiders, take your pick.) And she's learning to identify and correct her errors.
Onward.
