Frogging is the word used when you need to cut or rip out some of your cross stitches when you make mistakes. It came from the sound that frogs make “ribbit,” which sounds like “rip it, rip it.” It should be the next best thing to do once you misplaced several stitches. So, now you know that frogging has nothing to do with the tiny green animal if you come across the frogging term. But know that it has a lot to do with solving the mistakes you made on your cross stitches. You may also want to know a common belief that people were stitching who make mistakes scream frog, thus the term. Instead of a more popular expletive, they would shout FROG. Frogging is a term also used by other needle crafts like embroidery, knitting and crochet. It only means the same thing; to rip or unravel your wrong stitches and replace them with the right ones. Frogging is something that you would want to avoid. Frogging is a big no-no, especially when you are almost done with your craftwork.
