First it took me ages to actually start knitting. Then I had a bit that kept getting twisted. At last, the other night, I joined the front and back together and started knitting in earnest, and then I dropped a bunch of stitches. I picked up most of them, but 2 were totally twisted and made a bit of a mess. So I’ve pulled out all the rows I did during a long meeting, and I’m back to where I was before joining the pieces. It’s rather depressing. Maybe I should work out some kind of cleansing ritual before I start going forward again, and try to lift the bad juju.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Just sharing my woes and frustration.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tracy<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>NFB-Blind-Crafters mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NFB-Blind-Crafters@nfbnet.org">NFB-Blind-Crafters@nfbnet.org</a><br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-blind-crafters_nfbnet.org">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-blind-crafters_nfbnet.org</a><br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFB-Blind-Crafters:<br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfb-blind-crafters_nfbnet.org/flowersandherbs%40gmail.com">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfb-blind-crafters_nfbnet.org/flowersandherbs%40gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
