Sometimes a design, a yarn, a pattern, or a fit, just doesn't work out. It can be VERY hard to decide whether or not to frog a project that you've sweated, fretted, and cried over.
Okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic, but you know what I mean. You found a pattern, shopped for yarn, couldn't wait to cast on, and then.....Ugh.

Let's (gently) help each other let go of those projects that just aren't right. I think it's likely that we all have a project (or 2, or 10
)

hanging around that won't ever be completed.
Post them here, and let the community encourage you to keep it or frog it.
Tell us why you are reluctant to riiiipppit, riiiipppit. Maybe there is sentimental value that you just can't let go of, or you're frustrated that you spent SO. MUCH. TIME. on the project!

I'll go first...
This is the Acacia Reversible Pullover (hopefully the pic is there, some folks have commented that they can't see it). It was my first sweater, and I never completed it. It was frustrating because it was knit in four pieces and seamed together. I'm not gonna lie, my seams were terrible, and not for lack of trying! I seamed and re-seamed SO many times.
I also don't like the way the sleeves attach to the body. There is no flow, they look like what they are, two tubes stitched to a rectangle. Ugh. UGH I say!!
The collar was bugging me too. So, in my INFINATE novice knitter wisdom (lol), I decided to try to make it a turtleneck. I think we all see how that turned out...
Here is why I kinda want to keep it. This was my first attempt at a sweater! I like to pull it out every once in a while just to see how much I've progressed as a knitter. If I finish it, I will likely never wear it outside of my house, and that's a real shame because the yarn I used is scrumptious!!
So, to frog, or not to frog? That is my question! Comment below.
Gently! Comment gently below
Who's next? C'mon show us your WILPF's (works in limbo pending frogging)
