Normally, I hate to frog. I almost never rip. Sometimes, I'll tink back a few stitches, maybe even a row. But you all know how many mistakes there were in the Blue Cable-y Goodness. There were even a couple in the intarsia hell that was the Rosetta Blankie. And undoubtedly there are a few in the three squares I have finished so far for the GGAAA.
So why is it that I have ripped so much out on this project? I ripped one square, which I was up to row 10 or 12, out entirely - twice. And I ripped again last night, although then I was only having problems on row 3 (or was it 5?)...
Maybe it's the fact that these squares are all so small that I don't feel so invested in them? Maybe it's the fact that since they're each so different, I want them to be right?
Or could it be that green yarn is just meant to go ribbit... ribbit...
Posted by Jon at September 9, 2005 09:05 AMJon, Just wanted to come over and say hello to my fellow Merino lover (go to MDK if you haven't already today!). We've got to stick together in defense of non-itchy alternatives to that Icelandic crap! Love your green knittings below.

Ha ha, so you've found your rippy yarn... Welcome to frogland! I am myself a big frogger but I know why: my obsessive nature gives me such a hard time on any tiny imperfection that frogging nearly comes as a relief.
So perhaps with a few steps back you'll go to your masterpiece! b.t.w. congrats for the Rosetta blanket: it was really nice and the backing soooo stylish. Lovely!
