To Frog, or Not To Frog

[varianbetweenstars]

I have a lace shawl that I'm just under a third of the way through on. It's been sitting in my knitting bag hibernating for months now, and it feels more like a slog to knit, rather than something I'm enjoying.

I'm debating over ripping it apart, though frogging it will probably make me cry, but I'm no longer really enjoying it.

How many months have you already spent in knitting it?

Do you have any other use in mind for the wool (and will it be reusable)?

Do you have any reason to anticipate enjoying it in the future (e.g. when you've got past the current boring section and get to find out how a new bit of the pattern works)?

I'd been knitting it off and on for about three months, more off than on tbh.

I've found another pattern for the yarn, I can make at least one skein of the green yarn work (since I didn't use much of that one.) The other one is still stuffed in the bottom of my knitting bag, waiting to be frogged.

The pattern was one that repeated the same 10-row pattern throughout the shawl, no new techniques once I'd gotten the pattern down.

Sounds rather like a candidate for undoing, then, to me.
