Knitting was supposed to be a hobby and really more for stress-relief, something to pass the time away while watching TV (I can't just sit and watch TV, I get bored really fast) but every time I sit to knit, it is one of the most stressful experiences I have ever had! I get so frustrated when the stitches don't look just right and of course (being a newby) I add a stich, or lose a stich (I am forever losing stitches) or just lose my place in the pattern and 10 rows later realize it. So, I pull it all out and start again or if I can for the life of me figure out how many stitches too pull off to return to a place I can manage to start from, I will be very lucky and not have to start from scratch. So alas, knitting is not for me what it is for most people. I start something and force myself to finish it just because I get tired of looking at my knitting bag sitting in the corner with a half finished project. Once I finish I get so excited that I made something nice that I start a new project and the cycle of frustration and annoyance continues.
So, whenever I see knitted items, I get all excited and make a list of items I am eventually going to make (like I am now) and then I realize the above. Arg!
I totally want something like this! It's the perfect bag for my knitting stuff! :)
Apples get cold too you know!!
