Hmm, I love lace tips, knitting or otherwise. I have been lace knitting, and not been making bobbin lace since my baby was born (wow, already 10 months ago) I find putting knitting away much easier when needed then putting bobbin lace away. And with a toddler and a crawler in my house leaving things out is just not an option.
Another way of keeping track of where you are in a pattern is to use a metal surface (like a cookie sheet) and strip magnets (like business cards or you can buy them at most hobby stores). I keep the magnet above the row I am working on and can therefore see whether the pattern lines up as well as what I need to do. If you loose your place you could use a smaller magnet to show 10 or so stitches that need to be worked next, and you just move the small magnet another 10 stitches when you have them finished.
