I started on this Clue yesterday but I had to tink back and start it over. You see, I am constitutionally unable to knit an asymmetric lace pattern. I just can't do it. I made it through the first asymmetry on row 3, it was just a yarn over and a slip-slip-knit. Such a little thing. But when I got to row 7 there was that yawning space, 10 knit stitches where there should have been something else and I just couldn't go on, I could not force myself to knit another stitch. So, I fired up my charting software and redid the center section to make it symmetrical. Then I tinked back to row 4, figuring I could fix that first asymmetry with a little bit of surgery, which I did, and continued on my merry way.
Pattern: The Little Mermaid by Janine le Cras
