Frogging Bees


This might look like a pair of black and yellow socks, but they're not. The one on the right was made with my standard sock pattern, but proved too small in circumference. The sock on the left was made to be wider. Before the matching sock was knitted, she moved away, and I didn't see her any more.

Two mis-matched socks have been sitting in my yarn stash for a good few years. It's time they morphed into something useful. These socks are going to be frogged.

"Frog" is a word knitters have been using for quite some time, and it is being added to the Oxford English Dictionary in March. When knitting is 'frogged', it's ripped out. "Rip it, rip it, rip it."
