Day 2 - The Momentum Continues

I'm in a good mood over the way things have turned out so far. I'm not as frustrated as I feared I might be. Especially after I spent 6 hrs online yesterday trying to promote the business and getting registered in all kinds of different online arenas. It is a little disappointing to jump on first thing in the morning and find out that no one is looking at you anywhere you have created your presence, but I understand that takes time and patience. However, this is a society of immediate gratification, and damn it, I want to be gratified too! lol

I also spent another 4+ hours online last night searching for free patterns. There's a wealth of places out there, but it's so frustrating that people cannot clearly separate knitting patterns from crocheting patterns. Yes, I have crochet needles, and yes, I'm trying to learn that too... but give me a break! I can only deal with so much frustration at one time! How many times can you deal with your 8 year old looking at your piece (that you have been working extremely hard on), giggle and say "Epic failure!" There's a point when you know she's right and give in. However, until you're at that point, it just pisses you off.

I have found Youtube to be an amazing assist along my journey. You can find and put damn near anything on Youtube! It makes me wonder why I'm not famous... Oh yeah, I don't post anything on Youtube. Of course, that brings up ponderings for an entirely different ramble. So I will try to stay away from that for now. However, it's great to knit with Youtube. You just go along about your business and when you come to a piece of pattern you don't understand or the pictures just aren't working for you... go type it in Youtube search and someone, somewhere is willing to show you how to get 'er done!

Well, enough rambling for now. I want to go play on Youtube and figure out a few steps in this new pattern I bought last night that I don't quite have down yet. THEN... I'm off to start on Didgery!! So excited! I hope it turns out to be less frustrating than I fear it might be. I know after the first one, or maybe third one, I will find it relaxing and enjoy making it.
