Why is it called froging when you take out knitting?
And the item to be frogged can await that chore in the frog pond!
To tink is to knit - or rather, unknit one stitch at a time. Frogging is wholesale ripping of many rows, if not for the whole piece.
Yes, it's a whole other language amongst English speaking knitters!
I love language, but have yet to find any similar terminology in another language. We have knit and purl stitches; other languages seem to be limited to frontwards and backwards stitches! If anyone knows of different terms that are particular to knitting in another language, tell me, please.
