Deep thoughts on lace

Hello, lace-knitting-world?

It's Marissa.

Is there a good reason why nobody mentioned the necessity of casting on lace scarves with a larger sized needle?

Because this looks like crap:

Now, maybe it would have blocked out (says she who has never blocked).

And maybe whoever ends up with this would never have known the difference.

But. (You know where this is going. I know you do.)

I frogged it. Riiiiiiiip-ped it right to the first slip knot.

That was midnight.
At 3am, I was right back where I'd left off:

Sigh. Is it me, or does it look the same?

Awesome. There's another three hours of my life wasted.


So what's the short answer here, folks? Tight Yarn-overs? Smaller needles?
(That's fingering wt sock yarn, there, on straight eight's.)

I'm just not feelin' the love.
