I've gotten this far, and I haven't memorized the pattern yet.
I guess I've so far done only very simple lace, usually just one or two segments that repeat in varying locations. I've gotten into the habit of checking as I go. I don't like to use stitch markers and tend to lose my place in a chart. I'm starting to get a sense of rightness when I hit the double decreases, knowing I'm in the right spot, and a sense of what it is the yo's are creating, but I'm still very careful when I get close to that center stitch (I really just want to forget about it). Maybe birch would be a better bet.
