What is the biggest project you've ever had to frog?

Umm... about 1/3 of an afghan I decided not to finish.

The biggest for me was the feather and fan baby blanket I recently finished. I had to frog bavck over 5 rows to correst a mistake and I had over 230 stitches per row to undo.

I've taken apart a number of finished cardis (hip length)...woven ends and all...that I'd worn but didn't like. The fact that I'd made them made undoing them easier. (Knew where to look for woven ends, seaming yarns, etc.)

Just tonight I've frogged fifteen rows on a sock. Found an error. Nobody else would have seen it, but it bugged me half to death. Then a few rows later, dropped a stitch, and gave up for the night.

I frogged the entire sweater I started and had hours of work done on. I already completed 2 repeats, but I was getting the sts wrong on the motif up the side- so. . . frogged! About I guess it was about 20 rounds.

I'm starting over today.

I was about 2/3 through an Icarus shawl and I frogged it. there was a really small mistake close to the beginning that I found several rows later and I just couldn't deal with it so I frogged. I've also frogged an entire finished sock once because I decided I wasn't happy with how the colors pooled. So, I frogged and re-CO with a different gauge and got striping I was MUCH happier with.

I don't feel so bad now for frogging half of my vest. I also found a mistake, even though small, but it was bothering me also. Thanks to all who shared their stories!

AN ENTIRE SWEATER! Last winter I made a top down raglan pullover out of some really nice cashmere. I checked my guage and it was spot on. So I blithely knitted away. I got to the ribbing at the bottom and realiwed it was HUGE. I could have fit two of me int it. So I frogged it.

I've frogged both a child's sweater and an adult's sweater (at different times). It made me mad, but with the mistakes I'd made (well, the child's sweater it was that it didn't fit properly), I couldn't leave them as is.
