Froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride
Uh huh.
And yet, no frogging here. General opinion seems to fall on the frogging side, and I was with you when I wrote the entry. Of course I was; it was the evidence I offered that led you to call for frogging. Frogging was clearly what was needed. Not sure I’ll wear the tank much, and it would be a major pain to track down enough yarn to finish it…
…Well… only moments after posting, I got an email from the lovely Iris. She was on her way to KnitNY anyway, and if they had the Millefili in the right colorway, did I want her to pick it up for me? Um, yes. Yes, I did.
See, the thing is so close to being done that it seems best to just see it through for the two or three hours at most that I have left on it. THEN if I don’t like it I can frog it, and with the additional yarn have a truly usable amount to be repurposed for another project. I decided that if they had it at KnitNY I would accept the additional yarn and finish. If they didn’t have it, I would knit no farther, and the beast would be frogged.
She went, she found, she bought, she will deliver it tomorrow and I will provide her with the best cup of coffee I can manage to thank her for her kindness.
The Chickami, it will be done. Will it then be ripped out and re-stashed, to be transformed into something more useful at a later date? Dunno.
PS: I went ahead and ordered the yarn for the Tartan Jacket (I’ve already just started calling it The Tart in my mind) from the Boys. It’s officially jumping the line (to second place, just behind the Dolman Updated). That’s not ahead of the socks, but alongside them. Socks are subway knitting. The Tart will definitely be an at-home project.
Now that song’s in my head…. “froggy went a-courtin’…. uh huh. uh huh.”
And man, I need that magazine, don’t I? Why do I always get it a month late?
That Iris. She rocks.

Iris is the best. And I think you *will* wear the ChicKami now, if only to prove a point. I’d go so far as to demand you wear it to the next Knit NY meetup after it’s done. Maybe it won’t feel so heavy on? (I can hope, since I’ve doubled some similar yarn for a similar tank)
All Hail the Tart!
