Many years ago my sister-in-law taught me to knit. She told me there would be many tears and I would hate her, but I would know how to knit when I finished my first project. Her ending comment was, "And believe me, you WILL finish this project. Whether you ever knit again is up to you." I swear I knitted two inches and she would rip out three, but I did finish those argyle socks and have had many years of knitting since then. I can empathize with you though as I now am knitting my granddaughter a sweater and have one section that I just can't figure out. I won't give up, but quilt in between the frustrating moments. I have every confidence a light bult will shine in my brain soon. Don't give up. Start on something simple. It is a great pasttime for tv watching.
