the pretty things are going to hell

ARGH.

super frustrated right now. we are watching my mother-in-law’s puppy for her tonight, and he is an annoying hellion. bounce bounce bounce goes the miniature poodle puppy. jump on us. bite. pee on the floor. harass the cats. jump on us. jump on furniture. bite stuff. steal stuff. bounce bounce.

tonight was the night i was going to knit. i’ve never knitted, and was excited to learn. well, i feel crazy stupid right now because i can’t figure any of it out. i can’t cast on, i can’t do the knit stitch. i can barely do the slip knot! i was already incredibly frustrated going into this thanks to puppy, and now i give up on knitting for the evening, i think. i bought a book for beginners, but i just can’t quite figure it out. i probably need an incredibly patient person to teach me, but i shall try again maybe tomorrow. minus puppy. grr.
