Dayflower Daydream is coming along. Slowly. Tinking three rows of over 400 stitches each didn't improve either my mood or my progress. Realizing that it's more than 400 stitches and only going to get worse with the next repeat makes me a little giddy. No wonder it took so long.
Actually, realizing that it's more than 400 stitches already makes me want to go double check that I need another repeat. I would be really pissed if I did another 40 rows and didn't need to.
ETA - Sadly a lifeline wouldn't have helped because on each row I was tinking, I kept thinking that the problem was just with the row previous and if I could just back up that far I'd be fine. I don't think I would have ripped to a lifeline unless it had been just right there. My problem was that three-rows-ago I did the double decrease in the first section and then didn't do it in the next 7 sections. So my numbers worked out in the first section, but not in any following sections...
I've now checked, and ::le sigh:: it does specifically say each section will have 72 stitches when I'm done and there are 8 sections altogether, ergo 576 stitches total. Another repeat it is.

It's beautiful! I feel your pain. Been there and done that with half the number of stitches. Throw a lifeline in. It makes ripping back soo much easier and less painful too!The possibility of dropping a stitch is near nil.
Oh and when in doubt *always* double check- cuz you know the Knitting Goddess will be serving you a slice humble pie.
Blame the pattern and keep plugging away. It's already lovely. It will be stunning once it's blocked out.
xo
ouch. I got really good at ripping lace, sadly.
I had a similar issue with Maplewing. It's demoralizing...
