Its stiff, rectangular shape also allows for gaps so that stitches are easily picked up.

This time I am faithfully using a lifeline and it's going so well! I'm much more relaxed about it. I'm using dental floss because it stays put very nicely. From now on, I won't attempt lace without a lifeline! I have been so frustrated in the past trying to knit lace. This time I am faithfully using a lifeline and it’s going so well!

I can't say how many I have ripped out. What a great idea! I am fine with cables, but I am starting to try lace patterns. I can’t say how many I have ripped out. What a great idea!

The more complex the pattern, the more often you want to put in a life line. Life lines cost you a little time, but they can save you hours.

I've pulled my needles out of my project more than once. Another good example of why to use a lifeline. I’ve pulled my needles out of my project more than once.
