Gentle Friends, I've been stitching and frogging away on Anniversaries for the past few days...
here's a snap...
... I was much further along until things starting to fall apart and started to not line up..... then I started to look back and count and eventually I found I was off 1 stitch way, way back. So instead of just fudging it along, I decided to just frog it all out. It would have made me crazy with things off a by a stitch.

It is looking good. I am sorry you had to unstitch and then re-stitch.
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet
ReplyDeleteLove and smiles x
I hate when that happens! I'm like you, Edgar, I'd rather take it all out and fix the mistake than keep going. Although I will admit that when I'm back stitching and find a stitch that not crossed I leave it. All of my pieces have at least one little flaw in them like that. For some reason, that doesn't bother me. But to be off a stitch or two drives me mad. I know, I'm odd... or maybe quirky is a better word! haha
ReplyDeleteHate that frog!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you had to frog but I would have done the same...it's such a beautiful piece it would have been a shame if you had always seen the "mistake".
ReplyDeleteI hope that's it from now on!
I'm sorry you have to do all that frogging. Depending on how far back it was, I might just decide to start over again. But I know, in the end, you'll be happy you went back and corrected it. It's a lovely piece to be stitching.
ReplyDeleteYou did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteSorry about needing to frog. I would have been bothered by that also. It is looking good now.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had a visit from the frog!! I would have done the same thing. It is usually harder to keep fudging than just deal with the mistake. It is looking real good .
ReplyDeleteI loathe frogging! I must admit that sometimes I work around a mistake, it all depends on what it is . x
ReplyDeleteIt has been said, "A plane going over would never notice" just one
ReplyDeletestitch, that is.... but it can be maddening to know that things are
not framing up...Like you, I belong to the frogging coterie. Those
delicate edges can be trying... hope the rest falls into perfect place for you, Edgar. It is looking lovely.
Beautiful work Edgar!
ReplyDeleteA number of years ago I was working on a piece for a dear friend who was about to become a grandmother for the first time. I was going great guns on it, when I realized I had made an error...somewhere. It took awhile, but holey moley, it was waaaayyyyy back in the design. GAH! I considered a number of different ways to "get around it" but in the end I frogged out an entire section of cross stitch (it took me over two hours to do this) and re-stitched. A major pain, but I don't regret doing it; in the end it counted as one evenings stitching. That's the challenge of counted cross stitch! Who knew one stitch could wreck such havoc?
;-) A wink w/a smile.
