However, as I work on the Mustard Parallelo, with is pattern 32 from Rebecca Magazine Number 32, I find myself learning where UFO's and abandoned projects come from. These patterns have all been translated from German, and I have been having problems with it since I cast on. Nothing is described in a way that I can understand, and somethings simply don't make sense at all. Following suit with my last project (yeah, that lace scarf that no one really knows about), I feel like throwing this damn half finished sleeve in a corner and doing something else.
I know this can be a great sweater. A very comfortable sweater. But when I can't even figure out what the hell the pattern wants me to do, it makes me want to take the yarn out and make something completely different that does not come from a translated Rebecca magazine. They have very cute patterns, but dammit if I am ever going to try to knit one of them again.

Ugh! How frustrating. I'd say frog-it. You'd have an easier time designing the sweater yourself.
Yeah.. it's definitely getting frogged. I already have the yarn ear marked for other projects. Knitting is not supposed to be frustrating, the process is supposed to be relaxing! And fighting with a pattern is definitely not relaxing, so to me, it's not worth it at all. :o)
