I'm seriously contemplating frogging 10 rows on a booga bag I'm making for a friend. I completed the bottom and picked up my stitches. I got 99 instead of the 100 stitches, but I decided to go with that. I'm about 10 rows up the sides and I've been going back and forth with myself on whether or not I should frog because somewhere (I can't remember which row) my stitch marker got caught on a loop and I really had to struggle to get it off. I thought I slipped a stitch at that point but when I looked REALLY close, I could not see it so I just kept going. The problem is that I MUST have slipped a stitch because 10 rows up the sides I now have 98 stitches. I've gone all the way around the bag looking for where I might have slipped the stitch, but I just don't see it. I tend to be a perfectionist, so that part of me wants to frog to where I pick up stitches and see if I can get 100 and start over from that point.
If I couldn't see it, I would just leave it. Any small imperfections will be hidden by the felting anyway. I know how frustrating it can be, but I would simply call it "my mistake for the project since nothing is perfect" and go on.

For anything that is felted, I say DON'T frog!! 2 stitches out of 100 is so small- if you couldn't see it when you looked, you certainly won't notice it once it is felted.
Especially for a project that wil be felted, don't frog it. What I would do personally is increase one stitch on either side, to bring me to the 100 stitches, and keep on going.

That's probably what I would do. Sort of a compromize-- not frogging the whole thing, but not leaving it as it is either.
For this one I'm using WOTA. I'm just ready to sit down and work on the bag and I still have not made up my mind! Had I not dropped the stitch somewhere, I would just keep going with the 99 stitches, because that is how I did my last booga and it turned out great. But that one dropped stitch is what bothers me.
