Finally made it through some rows today. I finally had the idea to draw out each row on a piece of paper and number to 38 to visually see the design.

It's a beautiful lace pattern but the yarn isn't going to work as it changes every inch. I see why it's perfect for socks and maybe not so great for a scarf.

I do have a couple of books on knitting socks. I'll go through them again and see if I can understand the patterns better.

Thanks for the help!
