When I was a newbie knitter I always dropped stitches. I used to be scared to find a dropped stitch because that meant that I had to tink or frog my work to get to my mistake. And heaven forbid I rip the stitch down a few more rows while I was tinking or frogging. They used to give me …

WIP Wednesdays – The Forgotten Ones
I wasn’t planning on writing a WIP Wednesday post today seeing as I haven’t had a chance to knit or crochet much since last week.
