A Blanket Decision
At the Twisted Stitchers meeting, I held up my first, nearly finished, crocheted baby blanket. They oohed and ahhed. “But look,” I said, “There’s a mistake 40 rows back. Should I frog it?” The thought of ripping out thousands of stitches, weeks of work, irked me. They smiled, shrugged, and crocheted. Finally, someone said, “It’s about what you can live with.” I hesitated. I had three ex-husbands, too many former jobs and careers to count, a slew of lost friendships, and closets full of bad purchases. I picked up the yarn and pulled. Finally, a mistake I could completely undo.

loved it! Came full circle!
a wonderful wrap out sentence – an a good job bringing us to it
I knit and have overcome my fear of frogging. Great example of crafting woes.
Hi Tina,
Glad to hear you can relate and conquered your frogging fear. I’ve become an expert frogger….but it’s still painful sometimes. Enjoy your knitting…
Wow! I relate to this so much. Well done
