First I tried to knit this sweater with a lovely alpaca yarn. Having completed most of the back I came to grips with the mess I had created and frogged it. I still love this sweater and hope to take another crack at it-- just not right now.
Next I decided to knit a pair of gloves for a good friend of mine. I spent all weekend ignoring my family and knitting the most difficult part of them. I struggled through with an error here and there, but nothing too major. Unfortunatley I had to frog them after discovering someone had removed their needles and stitch markers before placing them in a toothpaste bath. After several washings the yarn still smells like Orange Crest-- which might not be all bad.

I've never heard this "frog" term.
Well, as toothpastes go Orange crest is the best. They can have a citrus smell when they sniff their hands. I am sorry about your "frogged" items, but that sweater is still far better than anything I could even do successfully so your frogs in a strange way are really a sign of your success.
I love orange citrus, so this should not be a problem for anyone. (May also improve any bo issues, and may make it easier to spend time with your friend...) The bonus part is that if one forgets to brush one's teeth, you could just wet the thumb and brush away.
Still better than anything I could knit.
