Everything is finished but the lace, which I have started three times now, the last time I made it up to repeat six, but then I make some dumb mistake and I can't figure out how to frog lace -- all those yrfns and yfws -- yikes! Someone mentioned "lifelines." I've looked in my two lace knitting books and there are no lifelines there. Can anyone throw me one? Thanks!

Then you slip the threaded needle through all the stitches on your needle (as if you were putting them on waste yarn for a holder, but don't take them off the needle). Then, if you have to frog, you rip back to the line and put your needle through the stitches that are on the yarn. Good luck!
