A Quick Way

to get rid of a WIP...

	Several reasons for this quick decision. The fabric was too stiff with the heavy yarn/small needles, the intricate beautiful pattern was lost in the variegated yarn, I was about an inch short in my yarn supply - the plan was to rip back a little and make a shorter version, but I just kept frogging, knowing this beautiful yarn could be used in a better way!

That feeling, JUST before you start pulling the stitches off the needle - you know the feeling - YIKES! then part way through when you start really questioning if you should have done it (that's when I stopped to take the picture), followed by the final feeling of freedom when it's over and there are 2 beautiful new balls of yarn. Frogging is quite an emotional process!

Slowly, but surely....

There are 5 patterns in this sock - front/instep, back of leg, gusset, sole, and heel flap - I have renewed energy for it now that I've turned the heel!
