| I do not like to tink!!!!! But now that you taught about the LL(lifeline) frogging isn't quite as daunting a task! |

Me neither!! The project that I'm hurrying to finish is 2 strands of yarn. I've been doing a lot of tink(ing) when I lose a strand.. Now I've been going on to the next row and using a crochet hook to get the missing strand.  |
