I got so frustrated last week, I took this picture!
My husband walked in and looked quizically at me...
I believe I said" I may not be able to knit But I can cook a mean muffin!
I've knitted three things this week, one worked!!! number 2 counts as a lesson learnt, the other is a AWIP ( annoying work in progress).
The lesson learnt was a hat for emi. The principle was good I wanted a unique hat for her to wear on the way to school to drop adam off. So I decided a square felted one would be cool, (extra warm). I had a skein of a lovely Noro yarn
and I knitted it fine and sewed it together fine
hmmm..... Then I felted it
the sides weren't long enough and the top was too big. It is now a very unique vessel, but Emi still insists on wearing it!
The second was a huge sucess, my black felted bag, with decoration. I am sooo pleased with it.
Emi loves any bag that I produce
the third, my mother in law has taken pitty on me and insisted I go to hers on friday for a knitin to sort me out!!
Is there any hope for me?

Of course there is hope. You need a good set of mnemonics that work for you (e.g. the purl side looks like a row fo seed pearls), and enough disasters that you finally see what a stitch looks like, which way the yarn twists and where to stick the needle in the row below!!!
Stick with it ... I am sure you will enjoy it before too long.
Love the blue elephant on the lead in the last pic!!
