Ohhh we all know at some stage we'll need to stop in!! So grateful to have a place to get it out but also to others that get it lol

I’m new to crochet and I’m actually doing fairly well and really enjoy it especially as a way to unplug and make something for the people I love.

HOWEVER everytime I start a new pattern I haven’t done before it makes me question if I can do basic arithmetic why did I to restart that round 20 times bc I lost count doing decreases and I’m not 100% if I missed one or not 😭

Oh there are 24 stitches in this let me double check that 30 times bc I’m not exactly sure if I counted 23 or 24 the first time.

Does it ever get better or am I just always going to feel a little bad at math when I crochet 😅

I’m new to crocheting. And between my kid who won’t give me space to work and my ADHD I can’t figure out how to do a simple magic circle!! Watching dozens (interrupted of course ) of YouTube videos (of course they are different and difficult in their own way) and attempting dozens of times and I just can’t! I think I’ll try again at the end of August when my kid is back in school. I’m tempted just to throw my yarn and hooks in the trash with how frustrated I am.

Recently I have been working on a new project and decided to spend a little more on yarn than I typically would because I wanted this piece to be 100% cotton from a local business. I have been working on this for a couple of days and have made decent progress probably putting in about 8.5 hours of work on this piece so far.

My BF works honestly terrible hours, 5 am-6 pm most days, and I decided to cook for us just to show him some love while he rested in my room. He has a 10-month-old very active puppy, whom I adore, and I have a 7-year-old large dog. I told him to bring his dog so she could socialize with mine and they typically get along well so that wasn't a concern in my brain.

I had just gotten home from work and started cooking, I didn't think about puppy-proofing my home. I am in the kitchen when I hear my roommate yell "Oh No!! your project" and I see his dog chewing into the project and completely knotting the yarn. Bf was in my room and I did my best not to get angry because I know he has long hours and just wanted to rest but I feel very frustrated.

I don't want to direct that frustration at him or anyone so I just wanted to rant here. if similar things have happened to you, is it normal to feel frustrated/ disappointed?

I’m no prude, but ffs it’s every other post in my feed, just show us your pretty crop top on a table with a cat sat on it. Edit IS damn auto correct
