Please,don't get discouraged :( ....Put it away and then go back to it remembering, one stitch @ a time.....
Hate to say it but your LQS sounds like they needed bodies in the class..... Next time say ,that you will think about it.... then you can read about what the class has to offer.....
Please,again don't give up....Everyone is her for you when you run into a snag.......
