Well today was not a success with the knitting. Was hoping to try increases or moss stitch.

Instead, after half an hour of effort, all I had to show for it was this mess. I believe the Knitting Gods are saying, “Not Today.” I shall humbly listen and make a new attempt tomorrow.
I admire you for persevering with it.
Well, I’ve not “perserved” very well since then.
Picked up the needles for about 10 minutes yesterday and put them down in disgust. Instead, went back to the hooks and starting crocheting some happiness.
I don’t blame you!
“Crocheting some happiness” is a lovely thought.
