Stalled. Frustrated.

BPT/Jesus Sweater: I simply don't know what to do for the bottom. The applied icord rolled up and I spent 3 hours making it and then an hour pulling it out. I don't want ribbing or garter stitch. I've had suggestions to put a cable around the bottom but that will mean knitting it separately and then grafting it together. Yuck.

Noni Bag: I just got the yarn needed and I think I'm going to rip out the whole thing. It's a beautiful bag; but it's a beautiful need-to-carry-in-your-hand bag. And I really prefer to carry a bag on my shoulder, or at least be able to. And I think I want a smaller, more structured style. So there. Sigh.

Test Knit: I can't say too much about this, because I signed an agreement of non-disclosure, but I ran into part where I am completely lost and so I have to wait to hear back from the designer.

Flamingoes: I think the yarn I have will work for fuzz on the flamingoes. But as I pulled it out I remembered that I was at a point in the pattern where I was rather unsure I was doing it correctly at all....so that may be another rip. And another pattern I can't understand.

I HATE THIS! I like being in the "flow" of a project. I've been stressed lately and I need something to work on that is just merrily flowing along, as opposed to requiring much thinking/alteration/experimenting. I also feel like I have way too many projects "in progress" and since they are all stalled I feel like I have multiple problems. I've made a load of dishcloths though. I keep thinking "I'll start another project that is simple and non-stressful" but then I think do I really want to start ANOTHER potential issue?

This was all just whiny. Feel free to ignore. Or if you have suggestions, offer 'em. :-P
