Many of the Olympic athletes experienced the same, but they didn't quit, either. You met the challenge and you prevailed.

I have not made the venture into lace knitting yet. And I chickened out on signing up for the Knitting Olympics, even though I knit along, so no gold medal for me. But I finished 2 (two) pairs of mittens! Which is 1.5 more than I expected to.

Dev and I taught ourselves how to knit yesterday. Oh okay, Dev was bound and determined to learn and I had to because he needed help. But now I can do a little something.
