Slow but steady
I'm not a speed knitter even with the easiest projects, and this is what three night's work has produced:
20 rows.
To be fair, I haven't been knitting this exclusively - I've finished a pair of socks, knitted a baby hat for a gift, put time in on a commissioned sweater, and done some spinning. The slow pace isn't bothering me though, I'm enjoying the concentration it takes to not miss any yo's. It probably helps that I'm enjoying the audiobook cued at the moment too (Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian.)
I've knit lace without markers before, but they're essential to me this time. I'm using small hair-bands because I like their flexibility. I'll probably run a lifeline through what I've got done in the next few rows.

The red looks really pretty! I've found I can't knit too long on this project, either, because of the cobweb yarn. My fingers are getting crampy :) But I have plenty of other projects to keep me occupied, so this is going to be a long-term project for me.
