Here it is...its photographic proof that I finished 12 full inches of lace trip for one of the armholes. It is truly the first time that a lace edging and I have done battle and I have not come away totally bruised and bloodied. Yeah, I had to frog this edging 3 different times before I stopped being cocky and started moving a lifeline to the end each time I finished a full repeat of the 12 row pattern. But I'm so happy with the way it turned out, and for folks who have never tackled lace, its a good little project. 
Yay! Pretty! Since I don't consider the tiny lace panel in the over the forest socks to be lace with a capitol "L", so for some reason, it just doesn't inspire the same kind of excitement in me....those babies have been seeing a tiny bit of progress, but I'll save that for another post.
Now, I only have 7 inches left on the second sleeve edging before I start the marathon of lace knitting for the trim that circles the main body opening. I think that one is about 60 inches all told.I've gotta get going...the lace is calling my name. (well, lace and some coffee. Boy, I love me some Sunday afternoons!)

Looks great so far! The lace is very pretty, and it looks like it will get easier by the time you're finished with the main edging. Almost there!
