How do you lose a job at a (low end) department store three weeks before Christmas? Sometimes you just need to grow up and take responsibility for yourself. 25 and you can't hold down the most basic jobs...I don't even know what to think.

I swear that nothing has made me feel more stupid than this ignorant yarn. I thought this was supposed to be relaxing...

Learning to knit is really hard. It's not difficult once you "get" it, but learning how to make those first stitches is really freaking difficult. I threw knitting needles across the room more than once trying to learn. But once you have that a-ha moment, you're like "OH! OH I GETS IT" and it's smooth sailing after that.
Don't feel stupid. It's really hard to see exactly what is happening in a video online.



I cried all the way home from my house tonight because I am never. getting. in. that. house. I want to just sell it, take a huge loss on it since it's completely torn up now, go bankrupt, and just try and forget this ever happened.

The first week I was learning to knit, DH made the comment "I never knew there was so much swearing in knitting." lol

Very frustrated with work and with my life choices in general right now. I cannot go on like this and I need to make serious changes, but change is not my strength.

I need to clean ferret cage for NewFerret, but I don't want to... (yes, I know....)

My mom was trying to get back into it about a year ago and my dad called me and was like "Your mom has been cursing and ripping stitches out for hours. I hope you're happy." LOL.

I think of all crafting stuff as something that you have to royally screw up before you get good at it. If you haven't spent a couple hours ripping back seams or stitches or cursing and throwing things you're probably not human. It is relaxing (usually) once you get past that point.
