I'm Drea. I'm Meg. I'm Tina. And I'm Jess. And this is Pardon My Stash.
Sounds like I said that almost like a question.
It sounded very professional actually.
Is that what we're doing?
I don't know. Welcome to Part in My Stash.
A podcast about knitting within the fiber arts and how awesome it is.
Before we get into today's topics, let's check out what we're working on this week. Tina?
I'm working on the Ingalls Sweater by Caitlin Hunter.
I'm doing a 3X in red, gray, and dark gray from String Yarns NYC Dolcetto DK, which has cashmere in it. So that's nice.
It is coming out so good.
Yes. So I am actually like a little bit more than a third of the way through the body.
Very good.
And as my castmates can see, I have finished many a thing.
Yeah, you did a lot.
I did a lot of my sweater. I'm really proud of it.
Meg, what you got?
I am working on Ocean Stones by Greta Menzen. I started this in early January. I swatched.
I was wondering why it wasn't coming out right. And it was because I switched the needles right before, right after I swatched it.
And I thought it was the same size and it was not. One needle was a seven and one was a six.
So I'm sitting there wondering why the hell it's coming out weird. And so anyway, what happened was I frogged it. I went up to eights.
I like it a lot better.
It looks great.
Thank you. I really do like this. It's it's you want to squish it?
I do. I haven't touched this project yet.
It's really squishy.
The yarn is some yarn that I bought in a yarn store in Marblehead, Massachusetts last year. We were on vacation.
It is Fiberspate Vivacious DK in the colorway Heavenly.
It's a really cool color.
It looks gray from far away and it does not photograph accurately at all.
Yeah, I was going to say I've seen photos of you working on this.
And it does not look like this, right?
No, it looks gray, but this has like a very gentle, gentle color to it.
And some cream. It's it's a gorgeous, gorgeous color.
Trying to trying to plan my Reinbeck sweater, which I think I did figure out today.
So I got to make Jess dye the yarn.
Well, I cannot dye that colorway.
And we have a tacit agreement that whoever comes up with the colorway dyes the yarn when the time comes.
Like, I don't try to replicate her colors and she doesn't try to replicate mine.
And so, um, yep, it works.
She knows I'll return the favor if the favor ever comes.
It hasn't yet. It might. It might.
Well, speaking of Jess, what you got?
I am still working on the I am Dragon 2, which is like a cowl type thingy.
Um, it's more like it's like a mini shell that you use as a cowl bandana almost.
Yeah, it's neat. I like it.
It's basically the same stitch as my I am Dragon 3 shawl.
Only this one isn't beaded.
So I'm doing that in Critical Hit Dyes Morgan.
It's kind of weird that I got to do something in this with the because I like the knit side to this one.
You actually use the purl side is the right side.
And then the wrong side is the knit side, which also looks super cool.
But it doesn't have it doesn't give you the scales.
So so that that is where I am at.
And I'm not as far as I usually would be because you know, Zelda, but that's OK.
I have that same problem.
So perfectly fine problem to be having.
Speaking of what what are you working through with that problem going on?
Oh, well, when I'm not playing Zelda, I am working on the Akemi shawl by Isabel Kramer.
In color yarn.
Thanks. Wow. I cleaned that somehow.
And I am using Silver Moon Fiber Arts fingering weight in faded jeans, faded jeans.
That was it. Wow. Blue jeans.
It is close. It is blue. It's a blue color.
It's a little blue. It's a little gray. It's a very blue jean color.
Yeah, it is.
And my favorite thing is that when I photograph it in different lights, it looks like a completely different project.
Be sure to check out our website, part of my stash dot com for more information, as well as pictures regarding our current projects, patterns and yarns.
So we took a few weeks off at the beginning of the year.
And guess what, guys? We're back.
Woo. Yeah, I had a brain thing where I completely forgot how to do this thing that I've been doing forever.
And I had to look it up. So, yeah, maybe I miss. Well, as you can see, the time off has done us good.
Like, you okay, Jess? Yeah, no, I legit did this like a couple of days ago.
What are you trying to do? It's a double cast on.
So you basically cast on to your project as you're doing it.
And it's just a wrap around your thumb. Like, now I'm going to be able to do it fine.
But I like, like, I had a minute where your brain was like, I'm like, no, that's we know.
Hold on. I have to loop it around. But we might if I'm working on a really long project, like when I was working on my sweater and then I was going into something else, I was working on the sweater for so long.
I forgot how to cast on for the next. Yeah, yeah.
Your brain kind of goes into like, yeah, tunnel vision. Yep. Yep. That's that's how it goes.
I forget that frequently. Well, I spent my time watching trash TV with Dreya, which was a nice break instead of editing episodes.
And I spent my time sitting in the same room as Tina watching trash TV and I played Zelda.
Yeah, she didn't really watch because like I would leave the room and then I'd be like, OK, what happened?
And she'd be like, oh, oh, I'm fighting a tiger with an elephant and a donkey.
And I'm like, OK, OK, there's no donkeys. There are donkeys.
Something that doesn't have donkeys. Oh, there are at the stable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. Zelda was played by Jess. Yeah, as well.
So what did you do? Well, Jess had surgery for his tweak of January.
Hence the Zelda. Hence the Zelda. Yeah. I built a box to thank you.
She built she built that box, the box display that Christina got for Christmas.
So me personally, I started and quit grad school.
Only to start again later. Yeah. So basically, I started the program.
I and then like literally the week after I started the program, I was talking to a colleague and she was like, oh, I have this like, you know, this this whole wild pie in the sky thing to discuss with you.
That could be, you know, this could be something that could enhance your career.
And I'm like, oh, that sounds like such a more interesting master's program.
I would rather do that. And then I talked to my department head and she was like, yes, do that. That sounds so much better. That brings so much more to the table.
So I dropped, I dropped out of college that day and I applied to a different university.
I applied to another university in state that had the program that I was looking at.
I'm like, oh my God, this looks so much better. And I actually think I'll enjoy this.
So I, my application was finalized today and within an hour I got an email and I have an interview next week.
So congratulations. I'm really, really excited about it. I'm excited for you.
Thank you. Here's the most exciting part. You ready? You're ready? You're not ready? No.
I have to write a thesis again. Oh, wait, actually, do you know what that means? I have to write sound for that.
I mean, I am trying. So I'm going to, I'm going to be getting my master's in political science instead of literacy.
So lots of politics, lots of history. I'm really, really, really excited about it.
Like, and I was not excited about getting my, my MA in literacy. I was really not.
It was kind of like, this is the thing that I'm going to do to advance my career, but I'm not enthusiastic about it.
But I'm really excited about, about poli sci. So what is going to be your, your background? What? The background.
I'm not interested in American politics. No, no, no. Well, you're watching.
I don't know, because I can't watch actual politics because it just enrages me.
So probably Ken Burns again. I mean, that is my, that's my go to. You're right. You're right.
I will sit and listen to Ken Burns with you. Listen. Well, I listen to it.
I need other things to do. Well, who doesn't? He's interesting. No, I can't sit and watch.
I can't. I gotta be doing something. So there was that. That was my big news.
I haven't gotten accepted yet, but that's the, that's where I'm at.
I would like to think that considering how quickly they emailed me that it's hopefully going to be good news, but I should know hopefully next week.
And I've been just doing a lot of hiking, lots and lots and lots of hiking, which has been really, it's been really good.
It's been good to get outside and get some vitamin D and self care.
Twenty twenty three. It really, it really is like that's that has been one of my best decisions since we went on hiatus is getting outside every day
and doing some walking and I, you know, I feel really good about it. So it's been really good. Proud of you. Thank you.
I'm proud of me too. And I don't say that very often. You got anything to add, babe? What else did you do?
Just defeated a Lionel. I did like six now. I needed their guts.
I don't know what she's talking about. You know, you know, it's like a dream.
I'm like, I died a lot of yarn. She did. She has died a lot of yarn.
Yeah. Box Machina series is really good. Thank you. We've we've really we've enjoyed doing it.
I feel like a lot of people who are fans of Critical Role and Vox Machina got behind it. They liked it, which was really nice.
I mean, it's one of those things where you're like, we had a vision.
We hoped that other people who were fans of the show also were like the worst thing would have been if everyone was like, that doesn't look right.
That's not what I would have picked. And that's not the response that we had, which was really nice.
And she cuddled with cats a lot. That's what she did. Spent a lot of time with cats. I went back to work and they're all mad now.
Not work. The cats, the cats are cats are mad. Oh, well, work missed me. No, because you do a lot.
You can't imagine. I know they're probably going like this.
Ah, every time that they really were. We just want you know, we missed you.
Like, I'll bet you did. Let me look at the office as it trashed. I was just saying, how bad is it?
So getting into today's topic, we're going to talk about frogs and frogging and ripping, ripping, ripping things out.
Because who hasn't frogged? I actually find frogging to be very therapeutic.
Except for that one time. Me? With the scarf. You did not find that therapeutic. You told me so.
No, it was not therapeutic. Was that a Kevlar scarf? Yes, it was.
It wasn't therapeutic because it was like a workout trying to get it off the needle.
I bet it was good for your biceps though. Didn't that take you like a week?
Oh my god. Like, I just, I didn't even frog it. I literally took it off the needles and I threw the whole project in the garbage.
Sometimes you got to do that. Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes you got to do that.
And that felt therapeutic because I was so angry at it. That it was so difficult to get off the needles.
You're like, I'm not going to use this yarn again because I have so much rage.
I wasn't going to use the yarn again because there was no way I was going to get all the kinks out of it because it was knit so tightly.
For reference, this was like one of my first projects. And you're a tight knitter now.
Oh, you think I'm tight now? Grade A tightness. Kevlar.
Yeah, it could have been bulletproof, man. It was a Dr. Who scarf.
That could have been like its magic power. Oh man. Yeah.
So you had the different colors running together too. You were also knitting that out of worsted on really small needles.
No. Wasn't it? Weren't those pretty small? Those weren't eights, were they? Yeah, they were.
Were they? Oh yeah. Girl, how? Yep. It was tight.
Well, before we get further into that, why don't we talk about what frogging is for those who don't know?
Well, frogging is the act of pulling out your project and ripping back.
Yeah. Taking it off the needles. But why frogging?
Because you take your project off the needles and then you pull the yarn and you rip it, rip it, rip it.
Yep. Not my joke. No, that's somebody else.
That's about as old as time. So yeah, frogging. The good, the bad, the fun, the ugly.
Sometimes you just got to do it. Sometimes it's the best way to end a project. Sometimes, yeah.
And you don't want to like, you know, always just waste the yarn and cut it.
I will say that I've gotten much better at frogging, and this is not to sound like elitist or anything like that, but when I'm using nice yarn.
Because I'm like, if this project isn't working out and I love this yarn, I cannot stand the idea of a project that I hate with yarn that I love.
So I'm like, nope, I would rather rip all this out and salvage the yarn and make something else with it because I just can't.
Like I can't, especially if it's really nice yarn that I've been saving or that I really want to make sure that it's worth it.
Right. I don't want to waste it on a project that's not really either showing it off or that it's not working.
I would, I'd rather rip it out. It almost feels like really good when you do that because it's like, OK, I'm not I'm not destroying a project so much as saving the yarn for something better.
Well, that's kind of how I felt. I cast on a different project with the yarn that I'm using on my current shawl.
But the pattern really wasn't working for me. It wasn't making me happy.
And this is pretty good yarn. Yeah.
Pattern wasn't working. Yarn was fine. So I saved the yarn and did something that made me happy.
Exactly.
Well, I find if it's cheaper yarn, because I would frog cheaper yarn, but I find I am less apt to not cut it or cut it.
Wait, hold on. I'll always say that again. You're less apt to cut it.
I'm less I'm less apt to cut it if it's nicer yarn. Yeah. If it's cheaper yarn, I don't have an issue with like if I get to a certain point, it gets all tangled.
I'm just like snip, snip and just call it a day.
Yeah. Well, that's why I didn't have a problem just chucking everything that I had worked on for that Doctor Who scarf.
Yeah. Right. Because it was it wasn't good yarn. Yeah. It was, you know, cheap stash.
Big craft store yarn. Yeah. And it didn't feel good. Well, it's also stuff that you can replace. Yeah.
It's not like it's a it's a rare yarn or one of a kind or something like that.
No, it was all acrylic. It was not very expensive. No problem.
That being said, though, the acrylic yarns are really good for like making a swatch if you want to try a stitch and then ripping it out.
Yeah. So if you ever feel like you're like, oh, I really want to try cabling, make a 10 by 10 swatch instead of a four by four.
Try out your cables and it'll come out pretty easily and it won't be too damaged because the acrylics pretty it's pretty hardy, pretty hardy.
It'll it'll come right back. It won't be snatched bald when you when you frog it.
Let me tell you, Alpaca, it will not be happy. It will not be the same. It will not be the same. And neither will we.
I've learned that I also am a defective person like Meg. Welcome to the world.
Hey! Yeah, I didn't say that. Why?
Feeling a little love here. No, I OK, let me redo that. I've I've also learned.
I've also learned. Put that one on the Instagram.
Oh my God. I've also learned that I am a large allergic to Alpaca like Meg because I was working with it and I was like, huh, I'm feeling weird when I work with this.
And my nose is really itchy and it feels weird on my head and my hands feel weird.
I'll have you know I live a very fulfilling. I did not say that. I felt very bad for you.
And I lead a very fulfilling life with that. Your immediate comment was, oh, that's exactly what happens to me.
And I was. Oh, it was. But I wasn't sitting here like, ha ha ha, like snidely whiplash like twirling.
I was. I was. Well, that's because I inherited all of that.
Oh, yeah. OK. She got a whole bag. Yeah.
And not not like just all I didn't have a lot of Alpaca. I actually purposely kept my Alpaca and a shelf on the bottom so that you wouldn't ever accidentally touch it if you're going through my.
And so it wasn't a lot, but it was like maybe like 10 balls, 10.
It was a good size bag. Yeah. And here's Dre. Ha ha ha ha. Snatch away.
I went back on that the 49ers hat I was trying to make out of the Alpaca and I had to rip it out a bunch of times.
And it was I had fuzzies everywhere. The yarn was like falling apart.
I was like, this is a hot mess express. I am. I already kind of said to myself, I don't want to work with Alpaca again because this is a pain in the butt.
Any yarn that has any sort of a mohair is going to be like that. Mohair is like that. Any blends that have mohair.
Bamboo is actually does not necessarily like to be frogged. Bamboo. Yeah. Yeah. For different reasons. The fibers probably.
Well, because it kind of falls apart. It's not necessarily the halo. It's like the actual you could start seeing like you get the strands. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, a good a good wool holds up really well. But like you start getting into blends and this sweater, the Ingalls sweater is a 30 percent cashmere.
The rest is wool. And it's it's holding up fine. I will say a larger cashmere count for me tends to be like Alpaca.
But where it like starts flipping out. Have you have you ever had any of that? I did frog up here when I was doing color work.
I screwed up a row. So when I did frog this, it was fine. It was fine. It was honestly fine.
I mean, it has a little bit of a halo to it and it has like, you know, that like I can I can still kind of tell which section it is because I remember which one I pulled out.
But it's not it's not that bad. You wouldn't know unless I pointed out to you. So and once you block it, you probably won't know.
Right. It'll change. But it is. And it's tough. And when you frog like your yarn is it. And that's another thing. It's going to look bad when you frog it, especially if it's been in the pattern for a long time.
You're going to use it again. You want to at least rewind it. Yeah. When I ripped out, what was it? My my Celtic Myths shawl last year.
And I actually took the yarn and I wound it around my nitty-nitty for about two weeks to let it unkink. And then I rewrapped it into a ball.
But if you just knit it straight, if you tear it out, if you frog it, I mean, you can knit it right away. It's going to look shabby.
It will probably block out just fine. Like once you once you finish the project and block it. But it's it's going to look a little shabby when you're reknitting it, if you if you frog it and then immediately cast it back on.
Anyway, finish what you're going to say. So speaking to that last week, I actually ended up taking a whole bunch of length off of my red sweater, the adventurous cardigan.
And the reason why I did it was because the sweater itself became almost like a burden to be wearing because it was so heavy.
It's sweater stretch when you when you wear them. And that was a long sweater. It was a long sweater. Yeah. So yeah. So it wasn't comfortable to wear.
So I ended up taking off almost two skeins of yarn. And then I reknit the hem immediately. Yeah.
I believe it looks a little kinky. Oh, I'm sure. But once you block it, it will look fine. Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fine once I block it. But that is very true.
And you know what halfway through doing the border again, I was like, you know what, I probably should have done this differently.
But then I was too far in and I was like, well, you committed.
No, and it is like it doesn't really I've got this this honestly the bottom of it and you can kind of see it because I ripped I ripped ocean stones out and I restarted it.
So if you compare the tail here with this here, you can see the bottom is a little bit kinky.
It's not quite the way that it should be. A little uneven. Right. Because I because I tore it out and it really hurt because I was like I was about this far.
I was almost as far as I am now. So it really hurt to tear it out. But I wanted to cast it on again right away because I'm like, if I don't, then I'm not going to cast it on again.
I'm going to forgive you. I'm not going to do this project. So the bottom looks a little bit wonky, but it'll block out. I'm not worried about it. I have a fun story.
I love fun stories. What'd you do? I have a gift that I had to completely undo the gift. It was it's a a special gift. So I can't say exactly what because the person I'm giving it to listens to this podcast.
But so I picked a very special yarn. So it was like silk cashmere. Yeah. Like it was just like really, really nice. Like this thing was like buttery to touch.
And so I'm like halfway through it. And then I realized that the lace piece that I'm doing inside of it was not come. I was completely off with my count and I did not have a lifeline.
So I was like, screw it. I'm just going to pull it all out. That's heartbreaking. Hi, Francis. Do you have an opinion? He has all the opinions. Maybe not related to yarn, but he has all the opinions.
He's definitely judgmental. He's like, I'm putting in my two cents. So I did not. I need to rewind it because it's just sitting in a project bag all kinked up. Not even in a ball? No. Oh, oh, oh. Lace weight?
You know what? You put lace weight in a bag without rolling it? It's not lace weight. It's fingering. Okay. Okay. It's still not good though. Still not good. Yeah. Girl. You're going to open that bag and cry. Do you see my eyes? Yeah. No, it's sitting there.
I understand though. I get it. I have had days. I was so frustrated with it because I spent so much time. It's a huge project and it's very intricate and I was very mad that it came out the way it did. And I know, and I also started on it like years ago. So I know if I started on it now, I know I would do much better on it.
But like, man, I just, I kind of like, I see that bag sometimes and I'm just like, don't open that bag. Just don't open that bag. Just make a small bonfire and just be done with it. Yes. Fear, fear. Yeah. I have, I've definitely, I've been there. It sucks.
So when should you make the decision to frog when the project doesn't bring you joy? Well, flat out. Moving on. I got no, I literally that's, that's, I don't. I agree with that. Yeah. I don't. It could be perfect. If it's not making you happy, you shouldn't be knitting it. Like, yeah. If it's not bringing you joy, whether it's the gauge isn't coming out right or you made a mistake 18 rows down and you don't want to frog it or rip it back or you can't rip it back.
Or not rip it back, but take back and for whatever reason or worst thing. And I do this all the time. And I know you guys have done this. You're at the point where you're like, I just do not want to knit this. It's just going to sit in a bag and I'm never going to work on it again.
Like I know I'm never going to work on that again. Free it. Free the needles. Free the yarn. Free the bag. Free yourself. Yeah. Well, I think too, to that last point you made that, especially when you have a project you haven't touched in a while. Right. And I'm talking years. If you haven't touched it in a really long time, there's a good chance that like your gauge is different now. Your tension is different. Your technique is different. Yeah. The way that you like it.
And you might not have necessarily changed how you knit. Like you could still be knitting English or Continental or some other style. But that doesn't mean that you're going to knit the same way. So the product may be different. Yeah. So it's not going to come out the same.
Like for example, that Harvest Cardigan I have is literally a tapestry of my skills because like the yoke is a hot mess. Like the whole top of it. First of all, it doesn't fit me. Like it absolutely does not fit. Like the whole yoke is just jacked up. Like it just, it's like when I put it on it, like this one goes down a little bit and this is like up and I have to like put it together with a shawl pin so it looks half decent.
And then like as you're going down the back, it's the back is kind of where you see it the most. You can just see the stitches like get, they're all messy up top and then they get a little bit better. And then at the bottom is where I finally decided to like pick it up. Yeah. It's like years later. Yeah. And it's like perfect. And I'm like, well, I have seen that cardigan and I know exactly what you're talking about, but I love that project for you. Yeah. Cause it's, I don't, you know, I don't get mad at it though. Nobody's first sweater is totally perfect.
And I think that's kind of why I like it. Cause it's nostalgic. It's not like, it's like, oh, like I took it on and I finished it. You know, I stuck with it. That's not the type of project. Like your first sweater, you should not be like, I'm shooting for perfection. You can't. You can't. You're going to make mistakes. You learn so much. It's the same as your first socks, your first shawl, your first anything.
So my adventurous cardigan, you don't look under the armpits. Oh yes. Same. Same. They can have those sleeve stitches. It was like life and death for me. Like I hate that's my least favorite part of knitting shirts is the freaking armpits.
Like, well that looks like crap. Just going to knit her away. Who's looking. I'm just going to keep my arms down. I judge. I'm like, who's looking? That's why I see the pants. This is, this is also Tina goes in for the handshake and then lifts your arm up way high.
Your secrets are known. See, and that's the thing though. They're not, they're not bad. It's just, if you turn it inside out, you can see where I stitched it all up. It says, no, you can't, you can't, you can't run for perfection like that.
No, your first, your first like big project, especially something like a sweater, you know, lace shawl first, first anything first cable project is going to be a mess. It's going to be messy. Even down to your first actual project. Yeah. You're learning. Yeah.
What's the best way to frog besides just yanking it.
That's about it. I like to, um, when I frog, I take, you gotta take the ball. I have to wind the ball back up as I go. Like even if I'm going to put it on a nitty-nitty, um, I, I take the ball in one hand and as I'm ripping, I just work it back around into don't follow my mistakes.
Um, and then afterwards I'll put it on the nitty-nitty. I mean, I have seen people, I, I don't love this because I don't like the way that it makes a really messy ball. I have seen people use ball winder to do it. Oh yeah. They put, they put it on the ball winder.
It's faster. Um, it also can snag that way a lot easier catch on a, on a lint ball or something. And also like you get a really, because there's no tension whatsoever. You get a really wonky big ball on the ball winder. And yeah, no, no thanks.
How do you feel about knitting straight from that project? I don't like it.
No sir. I don't like it.
I mean like as you're frogging it, knitting something else. Yeah. Like you see, like you cast on and then like whatever the project is like, say your sweater is not coming out or you know, you're going to salvage that yarn or, or steal that yarn.
It's possible. I wouldn't do it.
See, I feel like it would get snagged and then I'd have two projects stuck to each other.
I would lose my ever loving patience. Yeah, you would. What patients? I have decent patients depending on the situation. Not that situation. No, that situation would be gone. Completely gone.
Then she'd be like, what knitting project? I don't knit. I've never knit in my life.
This is a shirt for Siamese twins.
They are attached now.
And this is a project. It's an art piece and it's called a why.
No, I don't like, I don't. And the thing is that you asked that and I'm like trying to think in my head like why I don't like it.
And I really can't think of a good reason other than the aforementioned like it's going to be kinky or it's going to have a weird tension because it's already in another project.
So I'll just come right out and say I just don't like it, which sounds really prejudicial and it's not really a good reason. I just don't have one. I saw somebody on Instagram doing it. Really? Yeah.
And I honestly can't tell you what the account was, but I remember seeing it. I'm like, huh, that's not a bad idea.
Yeah, I think I would try doing that if I were ever in that situation. Do it and report back. I would like to know how that goes.
Well, first I need to have a project that is large enough where I'm like, I don't want to frog that, but I will use the yarn.
Well, I feel like. No, I don't. Wow, good for you. I do. I have one project I'm working on. Wow. I don't.
I feel like if you're going to do that though, that the project you're pulling from has to be like in one piece.
Oh, yeah. Because like I've seen people salvage yarn that seam together and if you were doing that, like you're going to eventually run into a seam and have problems.
Like, hmm. Like you would never do it from. I would never do it from a garment. Yeah, like I feel like it would be like a blanket you're pulling apart or something.
You know, I know people like to get Afghans from thrift stores and then pull from that. Yeah, but even that. Even that. I don't.
And I don't get me wrong. I think I think salvaging from from, you know, knits that are that have been given away.
I think that's a great idea. I don't think I would be comfortable with knitting from the yarn.
Like I would want to make sure that the the unknit yarn was washed and skeined and everything before I knit with it.
I wouldn't want to take it off a project. That's fair. Especially a garment. That's fair. Especially a thrifted one.
Right. Because you don't know how well it's been cleaned.
And it would also give you kind of a chance to go through the yarn and check for weak places, check for, you know, felting abrasions, things like that,
because you don't want to be in the middle of knitting it and then find that and be like, crap, now I got to cut it.
Do the whole line. That's fair. So that's a really interesting question, though.
That's not something I ever thought of. I had seen it for the first time extremely recently. Huh. And I thought it was interesting.
It is really interesting. And I don't have like a good reason. I just don't like it. It just bothers me.
You know, it just does. It just does. Because now I'm just thinking about that, that the stupid sweater song.
I hate that song. Oh, by, was that Weezer? I think so. No. But now I'm just like picturing this guy like walking and like their friend like knitting their sweater off into a new sweater like following behind them.
Okay, but that's funny. While they're ancing and they're like, that would be neat. Like the one person on the floor ancing.
This guy just behind them like knitting another sweater. Well, if you're unhappy with the sweater, let me fix that. While you're wearing it.
So yeah. Just gonna pull it right. You don't read this shit. You literally like gave me this idea, sir. That's beautiful. That's where my brain went.
If you want to destroy my sweater, hold this end as I walk away. Oh yes, please. Knit this end as I walk away. I see this end as I walk away. As I walk away.
If you want a whole new sweater.
That needs to be on the PMSC. I'm putting it on right now. Sorry, honey. It's going on the PMSC caravan list.
