Ok I had my first frogging. I don't even know if I'm using the term properly but, from what I understand, frogging is when you rip down a project because of a mistake that's not noticed until you've moved on. Well the hat got a hole. Then another. Then I miscounted a row so there was almost one whole row with one stitch off. I thought it wouldn't be that noticeable but as it got closer to the crown the mistakes were blaring. I've seen homeless guys with nicer hats. So I ripped the whole thing down. Feh. What can you do? By that time I was so sick of the hat I decided to try something else.
I've just begun a kerchief. I'm always looking for something to hold my hair back off my face and these are cute. I'm learning to yo (yarn over) which is going well. This should be a fun, easy and quick project. When I finish mine, I'm going to do one for my friend's daughter. She's got big poofy hair so this will be a great accessory for her.
I love YouTube. Anytime I have a question about knitting, I can go there and find a video explaining things to me. I really need a knitting mentor.

I am so sorry that your hat didn't work out! Keep plugging away baby!
Hi! I do all sorts of crafts but I've never knitted. I admire those of you who do. I have a "froggie went courting" blog post too but it is has nothing to do with knitting.
Just wanted to say that your blog looks great. Have a great day!
I hate frogging. I always let a week or a month or longer go by before I rip a project out. It helps me to forget how long I spent knitting the project.
What pattern are you using for the kerchief?
