I refuse to give up!

So after 5 repeats, I frogged it all. I was just too annoyed w/ it. But I'm back to where I was before I frogged and this version looks so much better.

I don't know why I'm finding this pattern so difficult. I'm not new to lace, the stitches are all ones I'm comfortable with. I think it's because I keep trying to knit at work, where I'm distracted. So I'm purposely going very slowly to try to prevent mistakes or dropped stitches. At this rate, I should be finished sometime in 2007
