If you didn't like it, you'd never wear it, so frogging was the answer, but it still hurts.Judy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591607125583963544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-43944211291515409192015-01-15T16:09:55.804-06:002015-01-15T16:09:55.804-06:00Okay I commented to soon on your latest post, no w...Okay I commented to soon on your latest post, no worries about the Kina, if it wasn't working there was a lot more knitting to go so it is best to frog now.

It's going to a much better place.<br />I agree with your thoughts about knitting in pieces. Knitting seamless garments is hard. They go on forever and it is difficult to make adjustments in them. I learned that the hard way with my Featherweight that went in the trash after I felted it trying to adjust the size. <br />I am going to try Katherine's idea about machine seaming. Why not? I seam my weaving on the machine.

Yea, yea, yea!! <br />Save that yarn for a better day!! (My latent cheerleader)<br /><br />After I learned to seam I found that I still did not enjoy it so I started sewing my sweater pieces together with the machine. It works and they look great, AND the sweater holds up through washing and wearing much better.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450679959206351852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-4381119775953568142015-01-14T21:40:38.417-06:002015-01-14T21:40:38.417-06:00Sometimes you just gotta frog!

I am currently stitching on the WRONG side of perforated paper. But, really .....it won't be noticed when I'm done. I'm leaving it as it is. I'm too far in to switch it around now.

Sometimes things just don't work, and sometimes you're just not feelin' it, right? Don't you feel lighter now? I have no idea what the hawk is. We had one hanging around here this summer.Pammy Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450773871543490672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-37315189325305722722015-01-14T13:17:20.218-06:002015-01-14T13:17:20.218-06:00I agree about frogging the Kina.

She is very thorough, and I also need help when seaming. You might also like her blog: http://knitspot.com/. They only sell natural colored undyed yarns which are absolutely gorgeous looking, feel soft and knit up very well. It's amazing to me how many different colors of sheep there are.<br /><br />I finally finished my Colored Scarf. I'm still crazy about it, but think my granddaughter will like it. It was fun using up all my mini skeins and leftover fingering weight yarn.knitterbeaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658942589260097024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-47802790975956638542015-01-14T12:48:24.093-06:002015-01-14T12:48:24.093-06:00It could be a Sharp-shinned hawk - they are very s...It could be a Sharp-shinned hawk - they are very similar to the Cooper's HawkWanderingcatstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459444703722115118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-35245842573041639182015-01-14T11:33:00.634-06:002015-01-14T11:33:00.634-06:00Oh dear.
