Black Sheep: Frogged.

As much as I would like to agree with the name, this yarn is more like a nightmare. It's super perfect for making the body of the black sheep I am constructing. I got half way through and realized if I kept making him that large, I would run out of yarn. I started decreasing (he would just have a big fluffy butt) but then it looked weird. As much as I wanted it to work out, logic kicked in and I knew I had to frog it. Even though I put half a weekend's worth of work into it, I figured it was a good thing. I could go up a hook size or 2 and use less stitches and my little sheep would be perfect.
Frogging turned out not to be that much fun on fur yarn (when is it ever fun to frog your work, really?). It took twice the time to rip out than it did to stitch it.
Now, we are back to square one.
to be continued. . .
