Grab your knitting needles and come relax with me.

The Sound of Yarn Hitting the Wall
Folks, I am nearly at the point where tearing my hair out, screaming and frogging the entire celtic tote sounds like a great idea. And it's not the pattern--it's just me and...argh!
First I had issues with the grafting on of the strap--did it like 5 times--twice before I went to bed last night. (It was stupid of me trying to graft after I spent the entire day getting sunburned at the rodeo) Now I can't seem to make a decent button hole.
So the tote is in time out.
And I am working on itty bitty lace. I ought to take a piccie. I am knitting a wedding garter for a friend on size 000 needles and tread (DMC Perl 12). Much more relaxing than a stupid button hole.
It took me 3 tries to make the button look half way decent but the hole is much much too small. Maybe I'll just make a snap.
What is really sad: I am just on the back of the bag--I still have the front and side/bottom thingy to do--of course the front doesn't have a button thingy.
