I've been working on a hat for myself for about a week. I cannot get through it for some reason. I'm bored with it. A hole appeared in it and I don't know how. I didn't drop a stitch or add a stitch..it was just there. Also I made a mistake about a quarter of the way through it. I decided not to tear it down because it was so far already but now I'm regretting it. I don't know if I should try to hide it, or rip it down. Ugh. I'm just frustrated with it.
I'm also trying to knit a cover for my kindle. Just a long garter stitch scarf like piece that I'll sew together. I did a few inches then realized that it was too big. Ripped. Started over. Mistake. Started over. Dropped a bunch of stitches. Started over. Used the tail to knit with instead of the yarn from the ball. Started over. What a mess! I was THISCLOSE to throwing the whole damn thing out, needles and all. Took a deep breath and started again. I've got a couple of inches on the sticks and it's going well. Now.
I ordered a lot of needles on ebay. After a week I hadn't gotten my package. I contacted the woman and told her. She called the post office and they told her it had been delivered. I told her it hadn't. Apparently the post office screwed up. I know WHAT A SURPRISE!!! Well I wound up getting the package and meeting a very nice lady who wouldn't give up till I got what I paid for. Thanks Mickey!

I am sorry you are frustrated right now with your knitting. Keep at it, and you will be a better knitter for your efforts.
You know the hat was probably thinking "It's just not my time. I need to bake a bit longer." Kind of like a baby deciding that its due date is too early...and stews for another 2 weeks.
In the long run, your knitting will get better because you're learning to be patient, diligent, and persistent.
I'm intrigued by that hole! How did it get there - quite worrying!
I'm glad your needles finally arrived :)
