It's been completely nuts around here. I have an FO, though! A Fair Isle for my 5 year old. It's a little too large, but I intended that. I posted pictures on my blog:

Holidays!

Frogged a scarf, Hi, What is Frogging I am intriqued, Ann

Frogging is ripping out or unraveling. Sounds like rip it, rip it. There's your frog!

That is very smart Hesira, he will be a very proud lad when he wears it. I love the pattern design and the colours really show off the stitch detail. Beautiful workmanship. :-)

The sweater is lovely. I was also looking at your other posts and I was wondering what do you use for a blocking board?

Christy

Thanks Christy,

I use 2 things for blocking. The blue surface is made up of interlocking foam floor mats. The kind you would find on a daycare floor. The gridded surface is a cheap board I bought at Hancock's for about $10. It's corrugated cardboard with a 1 inch grid printed on it.

Hesira

Thanks Bernadette. I can't wait for him to wear it!

Hesira

What a beautiful sweater! I love it.

Shelagh

Thanks Shelagh!

Herisa, Lol thanks, I have never heard that expression before. Frogging to me is a braid fro closing a jacket, Ann

Thanks Noreen,

Hugs back atcha,

Hesira

Can I come for a meal? Or just dessert?

Higs, Katherine

How size is your board? Was the grid pre-printed or did you apply it yourself? I have been thinking of making one from cardboard and thick craft foam.

Christy

The board was pre-printed. The size of the whole thing is about 4 feet by 6 feet. The grid is increments of 1 inch and there are curves printed on the board as well. I'm not sure what they are for, but a sewer could tell you, I'm sure. My board wasn't intended for blocking damp knitwear. I think it's a quilter's board. Like I said, it was around $10, and worth every penny.

Hesira

Thank you Hesire,

I will have to check the local shops.

Christy

I hope you did not feel totally bad after the game. Dennis
