Hello
Could someone tell me what frogging is? I saw a pattern for a baby blanket and some posted that they frogged it at the end.
Thank you in advance
Ooooo, that was not a happy knitter. It means to rip the whole thing back, completely undo it (“rip it, rip it, rip it”). So they weren’t happy with the outcome for some reason-- could be the pattern, could be the yarn, could be their work.
Thank you I misunderstood when I read the post I thought it was some technique of knitting to make it better
Well…it sort of is; sometimes the best way to make something better is to just start over:rofl:
:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:
I had a Caron Simply Soft sweater that came out all wrong. It wasn’t worth taking apart so I sewed it with a machine and cut it.
It’s not terrible but frogging it certainly would’ve made it better.
Will frogging ruin the yarn? I’ve started a stockinette scarf that’s curling really badly. I had no idea stockinette did that 'til I read the forums here. I’m only 1/4 to 1/3 of the way through, so I’m considering frogging it and starting it over as a garter scarf instead. I’m using good quality merino wool and am making it for my toddler (it’s a child-sized scarf). I read that blocking it could straighten it out once done, but I’m afraid it’s curling so badly that it will never straighten completely. I wish the video I’m watching had warned me of that!
If I do start over, how many stitches would one suggest casting on for a child’s scarf? The video didn’t make any suggestions (I have the Nicy Mcnally DVD), and the password to obtain her related patterns won’t work. I have Llamajama 1855 yarn, which is a think-and-thin yarn, and they said use a size 10 needle (it’s roughly a heavy worsted-to-chunky weight). I have 2 skeins for a total of 184 yards of yarn.
Thanks for the help!

By the way, my size 10 needles are 9" long–I guess that means I can’t make a thick scarf.
You could make one up to about 12", the sts will scrunch together a little on the needle.
