people who cannot count

should maybe not design bags featuring a fibonacci pattern. *sigh*.

*frog*frog*frog*. and of course the bloody miscount happened 16 rows ago.

*ponder* What kind of bag features a Fibonacci pattern? Are you knitting a pinecone?

I was about to say that "frog" is the silliest verb I've come across in a long time, but then I looked it up in my unabridged dictionary and it's a mighty silly noun too. And the unknitting definition wasn't even there to add to the silliness!

*grin*. it is a silly word, isn't it. i wonder whether it might not be onomatopoeic.

with this bag, it's just stripes in widths of the 1,1,2,3,5... sequence, but i have two more designs, and i am most looking forward to the spiral one. :)

I've heard that it's "rip it" ~ "ribbit" ~ "frog" -- is that metaƶnomatopoeia?
