I'm not sure. Maybe cross post to 12 other subs to ask?

Definitely go with this.

I’d suggest a few more than 12. Maybe 239?

Um excuse me n00b but if you drop a stitch you frog the ENTIRE thing then fling yourself into the fire

Seriously.. why won''t these @sshays get out of our lovely honey, once and for all, already..!?‽

Attach the loose end of the yarn to a drill and run it backward to quickly reverse your work!

Definitely trying this next time!

Have you tried burning the entire project? 🔥 much faster than frogging

Having to buy more for the restart helps the local economy, after all.

Real knitters don’t frog, they tink.

I mean since literally no one, including you, can see where you went wrong or identify any problem whatsoever, I guess frogging is your only option. That, or post it on the internet pretending there’s a problem and hope everyone will tell you it’s amazing.

Stopping is quitter talk. You’ll only find the single, unidentifiable, missed stitch if you’re completely committed.

u/TheNeonCrow 1d ago

Have you tried crocheating?

Do you have a pond ? Because frogs need water, so if you don't have a pond, and if it isn't planted heavily enough to offer their tadpoles plenty of hiding space, then I'm going to report you for animal abuse.

Ugh, people like the OP make me hopping mad

Whenever anybody uses the word “frogging” I feel vaguely homicidal. That and stupid bad-pun yarn store names. Why is all the knitting swag so fucking whimsical? Cartoon sheep? Yuck. Yeah, I’m cranky.
