From Hells Heart, I Stab at Thee...Would-be Scarf!

[wednes]

Damn! Damn! Damn!

I messed up the scarf for H. It is unsavable and must be begun again from the beginning.

According to this confusing-ass crochet book for beginners, I forgot to do a "turning chain" for the new row. As such, my line of single stitches kept getting smaller and smaller. Plus I have a hard time figuring out what part is the top, because it was getting all curly... and not a bald and hilarious curly.

Plus, doing just one row takes like, fifteen minutes and hardly looks like anything at all. I worked on it for 2 hours and just had this tiny, curly mess. I suck so bad.

Is there an easier stich than the single stich, or does it just not get dumbed down any more than that?

You win this round, Yarn-Related-Arts!

Sigh.




While I'm here though, please enjoy A Christmas Story in 30 Seconds by Bunnies. I advocate these Angry Alien folks highly. So if you haven't been watching them, get on over there!!

Well, it's easier for me, for some reason. Some people find crocheting easier. I think for me it has something to do with all of the stitches being visible right there on the needle, unlike crocheting, which is harder for me to see.

I think I've got to learn how to knit.

That makes sense to me. I'm having a terrible time find the stitch. Or maybe it's a right brain/left brain thing?
