Finish or Frog Friday

It's Finish or Frog Friday once again.


I hoped to have a finished item today, but it's looking doubtful. Rather than spend the day stressing over it, I decided to go ahead and frog something this week. Can you guess what's getting the axe?


Good-bye, crocheted Swiffer cover.


I started this project when another urge to teach myself to crochet hit. I figured a Swiffer cover was a good choice, because if my stitches were sloppy (which they are) it really wouldn't matter much. After all, I was just going to use it to mop the floor.

I do feel that I've finally gotten a grasp on how to crochet. I even learned a couple of "fancy stitches". But in the end, the love is gone on this project and I have no desire to finish it up. Quite frankly, the stitch-work is so uneven and ugly, it's an embarrassment to crafters everywhere.


Farewell, little project. Back to the stash, ball of cotton. I have a feeling you'll be reincarnated as a wash-rag some day.

I didnt have the heart to tell you that the swiffer cover was really bad . Im never critical, so that was just an observation. YOU MAKE GORGEOUS things. I guess your sugars were off the day you wanted to make that thing. Hahahahahah. I hope I made you laugh. Im blaming this on Pea. He should have tested you right away when you considered that project! Im glad someone else shares their knitting mishaps too! I always do!

Frogging can be soooooo satisfying.

I'll bet you're feeling great, having one less project to hang over your head! Frogging is so catharctic.

Good bye Swiffer cover! It is time for bigger and better things--or maybe to just hang out with your fellow yarn balls for awhile. Either way, it's all good.
