~sense of helplessness~

Now i realise how helpless i can be when i found that my yarn is all tangled upwith 2 ends already knitted up.. At that time, my mind was to cut the yarn so that it is easier to undo the untangled yarn.. which is the easy way out but that is not the answer to the problem.. In the end, what i did was to ask for help.. (that is one way to do it.. ) but i cannot keep on asking for help right?? So i wonder next time when i am in a similar situation, what will i do.. My mother says that i must not be too anxious when my yarns are tangled because the more i pull, the more dead knots i will find.. (It is true though..)
