Think of all the people who get sweaters they hate for Christmas. You just have to pick sweaters with nice big yarn and with seams that are sewn together rather than trimmed and serged.Litahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367549793825684579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30406215.post-57601011651232979622007-08-09T18:40:00.000-07:002007-08-09T18:40:00.000-07:00Faith over at Jealous Much? recommended your unra...Faith over at Jealous Much? recommended your unraveling post. Thanks for the info! I do have one question--Were these sweaters you already owned or did you get them at a thrift-type-store? I would be very interested in recycling some sweaters if I could find the right source. Thanks AGAIN for the post!TURBOchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050410794494460632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30406215.post-33238210739321155882007-03-15T15:19:00.000-07:002007-03-15T15:19:00.000-07:00if you want to destroy Tork's sweaterHold this thr...if you want to destroy Tork's sweater<BR/>Hold this thread as he walks away<BR/>Watch Tork unravel, his knees be naked<BR/>Lying on the floor, I poin and laughPMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03798392222551268516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30406215.post-63935950120497835662007-03-14T13:32:00.000-07:002007-03-14T13:32:00.000-07:00The best definition for frogging I've seen was in ...The best definition for frogging I've seen was in my Stitch 'n Bitch Crochet book:<BR/><BR/><I>Frogging: There will come a day when you'll arrive at the terrifying realization that the hat you're making for your father will barely fit your Chihuahua. Nevertheless, you'll continue working on it for a few hours or days or more, until you finally admit to God, yourself, and another human being that the project is unsalvageable. Then, and only then, will you be willing to "frog," or rip it out, wind up the yarn, and get ready to start all over again. Why is this called "frogging"? Because "rip it" sounds like "ribbit," the sound a frog makes. Hey, I couldn't make this stuff up.</I><BR/><BR/>Awesome.<BR/><BR/>The project was pretty much an excuse to destroy some perfectly good sweaters. Even so, I plan to make a scarf out of this yarn. It won't come close to using it up, but I'll figure out what to do with the rest of it later.<BR/><BR/>I love my seam ripper to pieces. Even more now that Tork tells me he's afraid of it. >:oDLitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367549793825684579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30406215.post-19550004609851843592007-03-14T05:08:00.000-07:002007-03-14T05:08:00.000-07:00So I assume frogging refers to the actual deconstr...So I assume frogging refers to the actual deconstructing of previously crocheted/knitted items? Or does it refer to winding the yarn or something?<BR/><BR/>You got a ton of yarn there. What are you going to make with it all? Or was this whole project just so you could rip some sweaters apart?<BR/><BR/>(I totally agree about seam rippers. I don't even sew or crochet and I know how awesome they are.)wurwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539706573261055745noreply@blogger.com
