Now I Have to Actually Work on This Thing
OK, so the slightly scary lace tinkering went well -- better than I might have expected.
I give you: lace, repaired, and back on the needles
I ended up having to pull back four rows, which is not too terribly bad. Also, I found a place where I'd failed to yarnover properly, and fixed that.

Here it is this morning, dry and crisp. I started to peel it off the floor before realizing that hey, that stuck-to-the-floorness could be useful. And so it was.
I pulled back my rows carefully, counting stitches and following along on the chart. If you decide to do this you really should take copious notes.
My only real snag was when I realized that all my other needles were up at home, but I resolved that by using a piece of sewing thread and an embroidery needle. Here we are all strung up.
Not too much raveled yarn, thank goodness. Also, while the Misti Alpaca usually ravels very poorly, sticking to itself and not wanting to come apart, once it's been starched the fibers keep to themselves more, and it was much easier to handle. Almost makes me want to starch the stuff before I knit with it in the first place. Almost.
