Annoyed Knitter


I thought that I would got the hang of Trellis the second time around, but one of the front pieces still doesn't look perfect, so I am temporarily fed up. I had planned on knitting the 12-month size for my son, but with yarn yardage issues, and the fact that my gauge is apparently off. I may not have enough for the LimeDrop color that I had hoped for.
I still haven't seamed together the finishing pieces for the Donkey Jacket, because I wanted to keep my fingers busy actually knitting. So I bought some more yarn and attempted Trellis again, in white (with tons and tons of skeins to spare) in the smallest size, thinking I wouldn't get fed up as quickly. I was right, but then I hit the same bump in the row (road). So I put it down and decided to knit some wash clothes. I bought the Mason-Dixon book and tons of Peaches n Cream yarn. I knit two washcloths rather quickly, actually a little too quickly, and am now bored with the pattern, yearning for something a little more advanced for my A-D-D, but then I get frusterated when it ends up getting too diffucult. Now I have tons of extra wash cloth yarn, for thousands of wash cloths that I am in no hurry to finish, I have scattered baby sweater and jacket pieces all over my bedroom and have hit the same point where I wonder why I bought all this yarn when I could have found a sweater that looked flawless at a store for similar to the same price as all ths freaking yarn!
