The yarn that I was waiting for came in early.
Usually a sentence like that would have an exclamation point after it, but it doesn't, because I'm getting aggravated with the hat that I'm making.
I decided months ago that I would make the BobWilson123 Puff Stitch Slouch hat. It looked fun and cute, without being too difficult for a n00b such as myself. It's not as easy as it looks, either that or I'm screwing up.
The latter is probably what's actually going on.
I've made my base, right, and instead of being 60 or 72 (as it should be if I didn't screw up), it's 66. I don't mind 66, it's still an even number. But then, when I start working the puff stitch, it's a very frustrating stitch, and it's supposed to be loose. I'm a very tight crocheter. I'm getting so frustrated with how the pattern is turning out. I don't have my camera right now, so there's no pictures, but I'm only two rows into the body, and a part of me wants to stab use the hook to stab the yarn, rather than work it.
I've never had a pattern that made my blood vessels throb the way this one is. I'm starting to get a headache, and I think the way I was sitting wasn't helping anything, because my lower back is hurting too.
I don't know if I'm going to do the puff stitch row ever other row, or every two rows. I don't even know. It's gotten a bit wavy now; I don't mind that look in my hat, because it seems to just be because of the way I'm holding it/ the progress that I've made.
I want to take a break from it, and look at it in an hour or so, but I can't keep my hands off a work-in-progress. Maybe after coffee, or sleep, I'll feel better.
Do other people get this feeling as well? Am I the only one this ridiculously upset over something I'm making??
I have no idea
