Trying lace a while ago, I also learned the benefit of occasionally adding a "save" line- a piece of junk yarn or even dental floss that you lace through so if you do have to rip back, you have a great "save" pont to restart from. Particularly useful with complex cables or lace or things like that :) BTW- How the heck are you guys? Miss you like the dickens!

Imagine my relief to learn it's not silent. I don't know what the linguistic notation is but the "ch" is similar to the "j" in spanish (and how I'd been pronouncing it). Have no idea how/where I learned it. I don't feel all superior-like, closer to relieved after the reliving the memory of being told that "irregardless" isn't a word. kwim?
