Hello Vila, The pattern is beautiful, and I have made a scarf from the same book, which is made very similarly. I think there is nothing wrong in your piece of lace. (And there wasn't either in the one you cut off, as I can see).
Number 2 is ok: you must leave the 2 edge pairs plus the guide waiting until you reach that border later again. Now you have to continue working the complete triangle in roseground, which may not offer difficulty because there is a diagram for the "unfinished" border in the pattern sheet to indicate you how to make it. Once you have finished the triangle, make the narrow cloth stitch trail that follows, then a row of whole stitches and again a row with a trail. You will have to make a joining at the first top stitch of this trail. I think that you have to keep working, because it does not look as if there are pairs missing. Ask again if you arrive to a problem later, but you should not have it. The patterns of this book are very accurate and in torchon everything matches. Keep telling us if these explanations were useful for you. Best luck! And don't cut the lace off! AS soon as you overcome this part, you will see it is not difficult at all.
