Frogger

I keep talking about the project that I don't want to talk about, mostly because I'm not working on anything else at the moment. However, there are a couple projects currently in the planning and acquiring materials phase, so I'll have something more interesting soon. 

I am writing this post on Sunday afternoon. Last night, I had gotten to this point in the experiment...

This is upside down and inside out.

...when I realized that I'm not happy with it. I've been pushing through for a day or two, but last night I owned up to how much I'm forcing this. So, I'm going to frog it. 

Well, not the whole thing... 

I'm just going to frog it back to where I started the decreases. 

The plan is to rip back past where the "seams" start. It's hard to tell in the image, but they're really rather a mess. 

If I had done more planning, I might have figured out a way to knit that neater. This is why I don't design on the needles too much. I end up with things like this. 

Anyway, by the time you read this, that seam will be gone (or very nearly--it might take me a day or two to prep the frogging). 

I'm not a fan of grafting, but I think that will make this whole thing work better. And it'll give me another out if I happen to lose at this round of yarn chicken. (I've made a contingency plan.) 

Hopefully, the yarn I ordered for niece's birthday present (she finally told me what she wanted, and it's not in a color or fiber I have on hand) will have arrived, and I'll have pretty pictures of a tank top to show you.
