Frogging Time

I am having a frogging time of late , if I am not tinking back mistakes in the Monkey Socks that I am knitting , I am ripping out whole projects - Ouch!

My latest indecision and bad knitting karma issues, is with the lovely scarf pattern from Knitspot called Fernfrost. I started out using a wonderful Skein Queen yarn of Cashmere and Silk in a lovely Teal colourway (crikey a bundle of knots would have looked great with this stuff!). I kept getting the (written) pattern wrong - so frogging ensued. Eventually I used the chart , hey presto it worked. Spoke too soon , needed to tink back . Worked again, oh no, more tinking back! ugh !

Decided it would be better as a one pattern repeat scarf (Stole has three repeats of pattern). Sigh. More frogging of the gorgeous cashmere .

Rummaged around stash and found the gorgeous aqua Unicorn , that's the ticket.

Cast on wrong number of stitches . Found out after two more froggings! Eventually got the right amount , and knitted up one pattern repeat (32 rows)

This . Is . It .

I like it . I really like it now . I am even getting into a rhythm with this pattern since I am only doing one repeat .

Trouble is , I think I really want to do three repeats of the pattern in this yarn, I like it so much.

BUT , I am talking myself into doing some gloves to match, so it will be staying at one repeat just now.

Three repeats .... now that calls for a different yarn .

How about some gorgeous Skein Queen Cashmere and silk in a lovely Teal colourway !
