When the Fun Stops, Stop

Sometimes when you are knitting it all seems to go wrong, and you have to keep ripping it back and trying again.

But knitting should be fun, relaxing and enjoyable. If it's stressing you out, just stop.

Maybe you're tired or feeling under the weather, or maybe the penny just hasn't dropped for those few rows. If I keep going wrong and I can't figure it out and it keeps going wrong, I put it down and leave it until the next day. I tend to find that when I come to it afresh the next time, that it clicks and falls into place and I'm happy with my knitting again.

Just remember, knitting is your happy place so it shouldn't be stressing you out.
