Why a frog?

The trouble with frogs....

I have this frog mad friend and when I say she is mad about them I doubt you can even comprehend the magnitude of her addiction. 

There is the little frog by her sink that holds the scouring pad. No flying ducks on her wall…no sir….three flying frogs.  Then there are the twelve or so frog mugs, the matching silver frogs on the fireplace, the frog soap dish in the bathroom on which sits a frog soap that you are not allowed to use…EVER! I could go on but you get the idea, but I do feel I have to mention the frog head toilet roll holder that nods at you every time time you pull the roll. Gives me a giggle.

You may be wondering where this is all heading & what it has to do with knitting??!! Well what do you get Mrs frog as a gift that she doesn't already have??….I know I’ll knit a froggy wash cloth, that will be easy right? Hmmm.

I got the materials together & I sat down to design how I want it to look, that was easy enough, but then actually trying to knit what I’d drawn…lets just say it looked more half grown tadpole than frog. Anyway to cut a long story short, after starting it & undoing it to restart it (6 times!!) I finally have a wash cloth that looks a little bit like a frog. Hooray!! And what does this magnificent frog cloth look like?….
