Why Can't I do ANYTHING Right??

This is going to be a whining post. And  Short one.
Why on earth can I not do something right? I started a two color hat (purple and cream) and I'm afraid it's going to be for a very small head. It's going to be fabulously warm, but...the tones of the cream and purple work against each other.
I suppose it'll be an emergency hat for when I see someone in the cold who really needs it. Who has a small head.
Still working on the reversible cable knit scarf. I keep it in my locker at work so I have something to do on break. It's crawling along.
Still searching for my next inspiring project. Haven't found it yet.
