I know it's me, I just can't cope with fussy patterns.
Gdd is coming up to 3, and I thought I'd knit some clothes for the doll I'm planning to get her - she's very into her 'babies'.
Only patterns I could find even online in the right size were very intricate - cables and 'knit one below' - which I've never come across before - but I still thought I'd be able to manage with something so small.
Only 2 or 3 rows in I went wrong and had to start again - twice!
Gave up and now trying it in a simpler (seed) stitch.
I'm competent enough with anything fairly simple - recently made myself a lovely cuddly chunky-knit jumper, but it does annoy me that I invariably mess up anything fancier.
