Knitting Frustration

It's relaxing, they told me
in the knitting class;
remember in college how you 
worked on a sweater when
finals were wearing, and it
helped with the stress as you 
finished that term paper?

Then why the dropped stitches and
mixed up cables as I try to
create after all these years?

The cap begun in knitting class
meant for the cold this winter
will probably be a gift next December.
The slippers will be cooking my feet
in June so I'll continue to work on them
hoping for Fall.

I've too many stitches on my circular needle,
don't remember using circular needles years ago.
My garment is twisted and has holes
I created; but I'm supposed to be relaxing
and enjoying this craft.
