I'm Frogging It

To frog a knit project, means to rip it out, take it apart, dismantle it.

For my birthday last June, I received a gift card for Joann's from our sweet next-door neighbors. It took me forever to decide what I would spend it on, but I ended up buying the most wonderful black worsted weight yarn and decided to knit myself a classic cardigan sweater to take to France next year.

I have been working on the sweater for a few weeks and last night I finished the back of the sweater.

I hate it.

The fit is all wrong and the drape is non-existent. 

I'm Frogging it.

I feel sad, frustrated and tired.

It is impossible to find a classic (vintage?) woman's sweater pattern.

All of the patterns have been written with some extra something like fancy sleeves or neckline.

Dear hearts, I am off to frog a zillion stitches and look for a new pattern.

Please have a fun day. Even if something goes wrong...keep smiling?

Can you see me smiling now?

Love you beyond the moon.
