I think I jinxed myself when I started thinking Odessa was a really easy, fun knit -- I have been having the worst time ever with it tonight. I tried to fix a mistake and ended up making such a mess of things that I just ripped it all out & started again. I was so frustrated I even left SNB early, as much as I was enjoying the company. I came home & watched
Stella Dallas, which was a very good movie, and got about one repeat into the beaded pattern when I made
another mistake. In trying to go back & fix it, I dropped a stitch and I'm finding it impossible to pick up correctly.
My hands are just not working for me anymore, and I'm soooo frustrated. All I want is to be back where I was this afternoon! :(
I need to go shower & get to bed. Clearly I need to take a break from knitting -- but it's the worst, when all you want to do is keep going, to prove to yourself that you can get it right. Ugh.

So sorry that you are having such troubles.
Hey! Sorry to hear about the knitting troubles - I can't do anything fancy like that, I can only crochet rectangular-shaped things like scarves. So I'm impressed! How's the memory keeper's daugther? My mom passed that along for me to read, but I haven't gotten to it yet. If you'll be in Farmington at all Christmas week, let me know since I am too. Hope all is well! take care, tami :)
