I think we all have our days but I find if something just doesn't go like I want I get frustrated and just let it go for a while even a few hrs and then go back. I'm like that also when I crochet but when I get frustrated with the fabric I try either reading or crochet to try to think of something else and this QB is a good place to come and just read about the problems someone else is having and it makes you feel a little better. Don't be to hard on yourself you may be stressing yourself out and that's why you can't figure the pattern out or maybe after you start it's not what you want. Don't be to upset if your memory keeps giving you a problem see the Dr. it could be something simple. I just found out I had an underactive thyroid and it affects your memory and so do blood sugar problems you may already know what may be bothering you. Hugs & Prayers to you so you can get on with your quilting. Don't give it up just yet. Sue
