How To Frog Color Work With Out Screaming

frogged

I’ve been working on a color work hat and I realized that I had to frog it because it was too large. I hate frogging color work because I always end up with a tangled mess or I can’t remember which piece went where so I can’t reuse my yarn bits as effectively. This time I came up with a good system to stay organized while frogging.

I labeled sticky notes which each section of color work and folded them over so they made a tear drop shaped tube. I wound the sections of yarn onto the appropriately labeled little tube as I frogged my hat so everything was organized and tangle free when I was done. I stuffed them in this little book of pockets that I originally bought to keep ball bands in so they stayed tidy in my knitting bag. It made frogging color work much more tolerable.

P.S. If you’re wondering where I’ve been, I was finishing up my UK Visa application and I was avoiding my computer because of that. It’s been mailed off so cross your fingers that it gets approved and sent back quickly!

  1. Cleeeever! Fingers crossed for the application! (Are you moving to the UK?)

  2. Good thinking! I usually never frog things, because I hate seeing all that work undone. Thus I am left with half-knitten things.Also, I am going to knit Miette once I am done the cardigan I'm trying to finish this week, and buy some yarn. It's adorable! I really admire your work. Gina
