NPR Craft Vent

I just need to whine for a second please.....

I'm crocheting a blanket for my niece who's starting college in the Fall. It is NOT going well and it's making me sad. I finished one whole column and it was all wrong. So I got upset, regrouped, then started all over again. I finished the first whole row last night and it's wrong. Again. Not as bad as the first time, but still not what it needs to be. And I've been working on it sooo hard lately b/c I had to start over and I feel behind. It took me about a week of working at all my down time to to do just one column. And there are 6 columns making up the entire blanket. Right now I'm at a point where I need to either fudge it, or start all over AGAIN. I'm just so bummed and I just want to quit, but the idea of quitting makes me even sadder. Grrrrr...

    I feel that pain.  I just had to rip back about 14 rows of knitting when I realized it was all wrong.  It's frustrating!  I get irrationally angry about it...it scares my DH!

    Maybe bust out a couple of simple easy projects (potholders or something) to rebuild your confidence...then start back on the blanket.

    Step away from the yarn for today.  Don't quit, just do something else today.  I have to do that sometimes or I just feel like throwing it all in the trash & saying screw it.  (which I've done)

    Sorry.  I tend to cuss & listen to loud music while crafting, it helps lol
