Amigurumi Frustration

I was attempting a new Amigurumi pattern last night in front of the television. After having to take it apart and re-try several times I got out my stitch markers. Still, I had to re-try a few more times and then I got out a pencil to write down my rows. I can no longer use "I lost count" as an excuse.

I will have the pattern memorized before finishing one crocheted dog.

I am making these dogs (and some cats too) to donate to Planned Pethood of Ohio. The proceeds will help feed and provide veterinary care for an animal in need.
