Luckily, in my long knitting career (2.5 months)[insert sarcasm] I haven't gotten frustrated too many times, but it has happened. I especially felt the frustration build as I started my first Clapotis. Before I understood how the pattern worked, I kept getting confused or I would start feeling overly confident, would not pay close enough attention and would mess up. Finally, after I got to a certain point it all started coming naturally.
I started to feel this way last night with the first hat I am working on. Something that should be easy, just wasn't working out. So, what do I do when that feeling starts to creep in? Put that project down and walk away for awhile. After playing around with the hat a couple of times, I put it back in my WIP storage bin and started the second sock of my first pair. This put me back in a fine mood!
I think I will go visit my knitting instructor, Staci Perry, at the Knitting Nest. She is nice enough to offer free knitting help once a month!
