I didn't frog it

Frogging simply means to rip the stitches out of a crochet or knitted project.
I decided to just toss the project away instead of frogging it, mainly because I didn't feel like winding the yarn back into a ball and finding something to use it for. I was making a top and it didn't fit me like it should. It was too loose in areas and wasn't something I could wear around the house. I've since found another pattern that I might try. It's only for one part of the piece but it's the part that was the loosest.
Anyway, that's what I did last night and part of today.
I also exercised twice by dancing like a fool. I have no rhythm at all, but I had fun doing it and got my blood pumping so that's all that matters.
I got my work done for the day and so I came on to sift through my notifications and catch up. I'm going to read for awhile later and maybe try the new pattern and see what I think.

Good luck with the new pattern. I remember when I knitted a sweater for myself, my mother said to increase the size. I did as she suggested; and the sweater was WAY too big. I ended up taking the whole thing apart and reusing the yarn for other projects. Sheesh!

Oh wow! All that wasted effort for nothing. I think that's the worst part sometimes, having to take it all apart.
I've decided to do this pattern in pieces. I found a tutorial on part of it and now I just need to search for tutorials on the other part. It's an undergarment so it doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to fit.

@LindaOHio Thank You. I appreciate it. Sometime after the new year I am going to make a big order for yarn. I'll have to do a lot of saving after that, so the big order of yarn will have to last me a year.

I never heard the term frogging. I guess you learn something new everyday.

I feel like that's a word I learned many years ago, but didn't remember until I started crocheting for myself. My mom used to sit in the living room when I was a child and crochet to sell at craft fairs.

I'm making a bra. Though, the way I am doing it I could also turn it into a camisole.

@rakski I need to buy more, but I thought I'd try making a couple as well.

Your welcome. I don't remember when I first heard this term. I think I must have been small and my mother taught me.

I had exercise as well. It's a good work out even though ti's not every day.

I've heard varying opinions on whether people should exercise every day. Some say three times a week and others say every day. I'd like to exercise every day.
