So I’ve taken up knitting to de-stress in the evening. And never in all my life has something said to be relaxing made me so angry. I don’t know if I’ve started with too difficult a yarn or what. But purling is making so frustrated. De-stress my ass.
It probably does help that my boyfriend is laughing at my periodic irritated yelps and ad-libbing the tutorial I’m watching.
I don’t know if #knittingrage is a thing but if it is, I definitely have it.
Honestly why is it so hard?! I mean my Nan can do it. Wtf?!!

I refuse to be defeated by this. So decided to try again. After a gazillions dropped stitches, more YouTube tutorials and lots of swearing this is this evenings result

Anyone need a mouse blanket, hit me up

Just been sent this pattern book with some wool I ordered. The instructions seem so complicated. But I’m determined to try them all at some point
