Trying Lace Again, or What Was I Thinking?

I've got this baby camel roving that's been absolutely calling to me since I bought it, and for a long time I couldn't get my wheel adjusted right so I could spin it at all. With some help from a nice lady in Fort Collins (and I never got her name!) I learned how to solve the problem, and now I'm a camel spinning unit! (although it's still a little uneven, and painfully fragile...) So - what do you do with baby camel? Knitty to the rescue - with this beautiful "beginner lace" scarf called Branching Out. Okay. I'll bite.
Confession: It's fun. It goes fast, it's really beautiful, and it's facinating to see that pattern appearing beneath your fingers. And that baby camel is so yummy it's a joy to touch. The downside? Don't goof. My first inch or so has more mistakes than I want to admit, but I learned the hard way that it's really tough to backtrack. You pull your needles out, and the fabric dissolves into a wiggly mass of loops twisting and disappearing - I can't tell a YO from an SSK from a stray blob of mystery fluff...
So, the mistakes are staying, but the top end is going to look better than the bottom!
