i hate my life.

i was making very good progress on the mst3k blanket, until i got to the intarsia/fair isle part.

i guess i should have known there was going to be more to it, but i just don’t understand.  i’ve been looking at tutorials and i know now that i should have just kept the “other color” yarn connected – i get that part – but do i start the thing with the other yarn present?  wait until i get to that row and start with the new color wrapped in at the beginning of it?  just add it in the first time i need it?

the problem was that i was snipping and adding in the new color (and then the main color) each time, which made for a LOT of loose ends…  which then came loose.  and made huge gaping holes that i could not fix.  so this entire night of knitting and three or four others goes into the toilet.  i had to frog the entire thing.

i’m depressed.  i’m not even sure i want to start over.
