Yup, I frogged it. As I'm always telling my mom, "Do Not Fear the Frog. Embrace the Frog." Even if the damn thing is knit with Frizz, or some other weird feathery thing. In this photograph, you see me reacting to the big ball of mess that resulted from frogging two and a half inches. Not that big a deal, as I later discovered. It was quickly rewound into a ball and I re-knit the bind-off. Now I just need to figure out how to connect the beginning and end of the I-cord edge and make a tassel. I've never made my own tassel before, surprising as that may seem to certain of my readers. What Kat has learned today: it's not such a big deal to frog anymore. It's all about the process anyway, right
Margene? Right.

YES! It is about the process, fucking up is also part of the process, frogging is part of the process, doing it well is part of the process, and making it right is part of the process. It's all good;-)
Just sew the two ends of the I-cord together. And if you have the book, The Purl Stitch, she has instructions on how to make a tassel.
"Do Not Fear the Frog. Embrace the Frog."
The Frog loves it. :o)
Think of it this way: It's how you get to knit the same thing more than once with out spending more money on yarn.
I also love the colors of your walls by the way! Beautiful.
If you'd like, I'll bring my copy of The Purl Stitch tonight.
The Mr. doesn't understand the whole "ripping it out to make it right" part of knititng. He is always amazed, almost alarmed, when he sees me ripping something I've spent a lot of time on. If it's not working, it's just not working and sometimes, that means frogging.
