It was especially bad with the double-knitting I was doing recently...twice as many sts to pick up as normal! Agreed on lifelines. I did use them on Flirty Ruffles but only about three times. Just as a security net since it was my first lace shawl. Thankfully I didn't need them anyway! I hate trying to get all the stitches back on the needles after frogging.

Too much of a pain in the derriere because I don't usually need them. If I have an mistake that is unfixable by the crochet hook method, I usually just rip to a row or two above and pick up and unknit to where it needs fixing. Since I usually don't have to do that, saves time not using the lifeline. And I have seen the Casino Shawl. It is quite lovely. Glad to hear you're itching to do lace again. (I just started my first lace project in over a month and I'm glad to have my mojo back.) I’ve given up on lifelines as well. Too much of a pain in the derriere because I don’t usually need them.

Lately though - I haven't been as succesful in that. Glad you got your back on the needles!
