Frog it!

 Grrrrr, watching the tennis the other day and crocheting.

I am making a chevron blanket which is done in three strips and then put together. As C2C starts in one corner and increases out any colours are also diagonal. To get the chevron looks, the middle strip needs to be added in the wrong way, so right, wrong right.

I like the pattern and do strips means it's not so heavy when working on it.


The back of the couch is a handy spot to put finished strips as I can then measure the current one and don't need to count.

So C2C is done by increasing at either end, this makes a complete square, however it's possible to makes a rectangle shape by only increasing on one side.

I forgot and went merrily along watching tennis and came to measure. Buggar, a whole day of crocheting had to be frogged. Why frogged because frogs go rip it rip it and that's what it's like when undoing. Frogging is a term well done in the crocheting community.



I didn't roll it just frogged it and left it on the floor to be recrocheted. It is all finished now just have to stitch the three sides together. Not quite as I hoped so may do a white thenblueborder around.

Frog it, if you say it in the right way gives a great feeling of emotion release without actually swearing.
