Ended up frogging this project and setting it aside. It was supposed to be a hat to go along with the cowl I just finished. Sadly it just wasn’t coming out the way I had intended. So for now, or at least until my disappointment and annoyance subsides, I have hidden it away.
It is still so beautiful though… I will try hand warmers next, and maybe a headband?

I had to frog all my work because I read the pattern wrong and had to many stitches.
Tears were nearly shed.
But I am back on track and knitting even faster, because I don’t have twenty extra stitches 😉

Sometimes things don’t always go as planned. The pair of gloves didn’t work out. The colors didn’t contrast enough to make the pattern stand out. I screwed up the amount of stitches several times. I frogged the whole thing (more then once)  

But just because things don’t go as you planned, doesn’t mean the out come has to be bad. 

Over the weekend my friends and I planned a beach trip. Communications were poor, and messy, and we got the beach later then expected. Yet, I still got to snorkel all the way out to that island. I saw starfish, clownfish, and dove for sand dollars. It was a hard swim, there wasn’t a lot to see, but it was still worth it. I saw a different side of the ocean and did something people don’t do everyday.  

So don’t worry… just because it isn’t going your way, doesn’t always mean it’s going to be terrible.

A piece I frogged.

I was planning for the mosaic pattern to be something along “bow ties are cool”

I have yet to figure out what I wish to make with them…
