Arrogance and/or rampant stupidity

The title refers to me.  I decided to start my second lace weight project.   It’s a two row lace weight scarf.  Well I brilliantly decided that I didn’t need lifelines.  Four inches in I somehow dropped one or more of the stitches in a K3tog.  No lifeline, I found the drop stitch(es) and couldn’t pick them up, so I tinked back.  Guess what?  I dropped another K3tog while tinking back.  It’s been frogged.

This adds to my bad knitting mojo.  When I went to my parents this weekend I pulled out my two wips (firebird socks and a cable and lace sweater on size 3s) and in both cases the markers I used to count my rows had fallen off.  In addition, I actually forgot my knitting bags when leaving my parents house Monday morning.  Not a good start, good thing I had the lace scarf and two other projects lined up but I so wanted to finish my firebird sock as it is going well for me now.  So tonight I cast on a new pair of socks, Temperance- I’ve already made this pattern once and enjoyed it.  However I’m on my fourth start already, 1st start, bad spot in yarn right as I started, 2nd start yarn broke, 3rd start I apparently couldn’t count.  So far so good on the fourth start but I’m only 2 rows in.  Hope your knitting is going better than mine.
