So um... I knit a hat. Or like, 3/4 of a hat. When I cast on my stitches I was like wow no way is this enough stitches, I can't even join in the round! Stupid. So stupid. I cast on 20 (TWENTY!) extra stitches and now my hat is fuckin huge. There are two options. Do I a. frog it (rip it out aka restart) or b. continue going and hope I can figure out the decreases to then sew it smaller once I'm done. Option b feels like a waste of yarn, even though this is a scrap yarn project but also this is my first colourwork project so frogging it is gonna suck a bit. Not too bad, it's just uh a bit of a waste of time. Eh. I'm leaning towards frogging it because it's becoming increasingly hard to bring myself to work on it because I know it's not gonna look like I want it to, and the fact that I know how I could fix it if I remade it exacerbates the feeling. But then again, ripping back colourwork is a lot of (colour) work and I'm a lazy little man. Help me decide and be warned, I'm likely to chose something midway through the thread regardless of what people said. It's happened before. Every time.
