swatched and frogged

yesterday afternoon I cast on, knit one full repeat of this lace pattern, decided it wasn't working, and got out the graph paper and started

playing with combinations of stitches.

Maybe it's just that the needle size was too big for the yarn, but it really didn't work.

Today I frogged it.

next swatch may be the pattern that I created yesterday on graph paper, and it may still be this lace, on smaller needles. Will have to see what I feel like when I get back to it - I'm working on this instead of working on the Christmas gifts I still haven't finished.
