.....helpful link.....

y'all are probably lace wiz kids but if you're like me and have only done the 'big stitch' from Day 8 once before (as in last year's scarf)....here's the link I cheated with then since I couldn't figure out how to do it correctly from the pattern instructions

I think Kelli dug this up last year ~ thanks, BBK, I had to use it again this year!

EDIT: might I add that this day is hard! usually these tough days are the prettiest though so I keep plugging along......
