2 frustrating

I'm seriously thinking of giving up on this pattern.
I really don't agree that it's well written.
In fact I think it's the opposite and needs a good technical writer plus diagrams to explain the directions.
My attachment around the toe is just the fugliest mess and the whole "attach as you go" idea seems more complicated than its worth.
Think I'd rather just knit separate pieces then sew together & felt... much easier, neater and quicker!
