To frog or not to frog…

by Cheryl

Is that the question? Not really. I’ve already decided. As much as I hate frogging, I’m just not happy with the pattern on this scarf. Sometimes I feel like we knitters think if we just keep knitting, we’ll start to like the offending object more later. Although I haven’t done a proper study on this theory, I would estimate that it only applies about 5% of the time. The other 95 % of the time, we keep knitting and still hate the project. Better ripping it now than 5 more inches from now when I’m still unhappy.

This is the beginning of another pair of clogs for Jim. I’m almost finished with the first one…just the bumper to go. Now that I’m not under deadlines (Christmas and yarn company patterns) I find that my projects are going quite a bit slower. Last night I even watched a little TV with no knitting in my hands… *GASP*…the horror! I’m sure like anything else in life little ebbs and flows in one’s knitting is normal.

Now the important stuff…yarn porn. Cascade 220 for a mere $3.00 a skein! Felting to come.

Like, the new design, btw!
