Dream or Nightmare

I'm dreaming about knitting. I think it's because I'm hoping the shrug I am working on turns out okay. I'm having lots of trouble with it. Most of the errors i have made are just careless slips. I've had to rip part of it out three times now. What i need to do is sit without tv or games and just get it done. The lace pattern is not to hard so i should be able to get it done in a couple of sittings. I also need to figure out how to do mattress stitching. It could not be any worse then kitchner's stitch so i don't forsee a problem, LOL. Well I may have just jinxed myself ;)
