Lace is like March

I'm knitting a nice lace wrap for easter in a very lovely shade of green. Its my personal indulgence. I've never knitted lace before but here is my conclusion.
Lace is like the month of March; in like a lion, out like a bitch.
Lace hates me and right now i hate it too.
my friend told me that lace just hates everyone. she's fickle that way.
