What the hell was I thinking??!

The extent of my knitting experience has been:

• a scarf
• a patchwork/multi stitch pillow cover that I did not so much make into a pillow cover
• A blanket with five different knit/purl stitches
• a basket
• man sock project

So, what the hell was I thinking when I thought "Oh, yeah, I can do this cute little sweater thing and it'll be  great..." . Ugh...WTF.
The things wrong with this stupid project:

• The lace portion is a little off...I'm slightly tighter stitched through the yarn over than the yarn over, slip stitch, k2tog.
• It should really specify if you are supposed to slip stitch knit or purl wise because I guess I mixed the two after youtubing and discovering that I didn't do it the way the person doing the video did..and decided on some of the stitches to do it however it was that i wasn't doing it before.
• Patterns should also specify how they want you to dec 1 stitch because well, if I was advanced enought to have my own preference I wouldn't listen to what you said but if (like I am) I am not and decided to gain new skills, this little tid bit would help me remember how I decreased two rows ago.
• Who writes the information for shaping shoulders/doing a neckline. EVERYTHING OUT THERE IS VERY VAGUE.
• so I just did it...and then read that I was supposed to be binding off in the WS row not the RS row. So one shoulder is WS and the other is RS.
• I don't really care about aforementioned mistakes....because what was I thinking. We'll be lucky if I can wear this thing in public.
• Jamie says it's fine and he cannot tell what I am talking about....

I don't have a picture to share at the moment because I was slightly frustrated last night. Starting on the front shaping tonight, we'll see how it goes. I have no doubt that any non-knitter is going to think it's great...but me...slightly irritated that it is not perfect...and what if a knitter sees it and is like...wow you should just stop trying...cause you suck. Plus, I already put it in my projects in ravelry and well, I'm going to have to put a finished photo as some point....scary.
Also, new knitting vocab from one of the knitting blogs I'm following: steek. Which from the context clues is the fabic needed to join buttons/zippers for a cardigan style piece. Interesting.
Lumosity - a brain website - that's the best description I can come up with - anyway the free portion has some of the braingames and I do believe I am completely addicted to the word bubbles...love it.
Oh and I attempted to make peach cobbler this weekend with some fresh peaches a co-worker brought in. Won't do that again either. Damn non-descriptive instructions....should put things in there like bottom goo moves do not pile heavy ass paste/bread concoction and attempt to spread on top of gooying bottom portion unless you want peach cake. You should evenly dump paste on top of goo.
I'm out. Stupid Mondays.
