Parker ready to read to his younger cousin: hey look, he saved her bookmark.
When Holly was here in town several months ago, I showed her a project I was working on.
She admired the yarn, but as she did so, simply having another set of eyes looking at what I was making it into made me face that yes it was a doodle but no I didn’t like how the second half was coming out.
Finally today I sat down and risked it catching on itself all over the place and carefully ripped half of that little shawl back and reknit the now-squiggly length back up and past that point. It feels so much better.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you, starting with Stephanie, who have ever said you’ve never regretted frogging something that needed it:Â at last I have a beautiful mink/cashmere project that I love and that lives up to what it should have been all along.
As it knit back up I gradually went from appeased pride, to, I can’t wait till the recipient gets it!
Meantime, Parker and his cousin, as usual, steal the show. Birthday and Christmas season. Celebration times!

Comment by Sherry in Idaho 12.10.11 @ 9:36 amfrogging is a good thing! it is almost as satisfying for stress release as breaking glass (never mind, I’ll explain that another day)

Comment by Bev 12.10.11 @ 10:34 amThis may sound repetitious, but the youngsters are adorable!
I suppose the accounting equivalent of frogging is finding an out-of-balance error.
