Gentle Friends, I should have had the second section wrapped up by now...here's a snaperoo..
... instead, I made a fatal stitching error and was off by a single stitch. In my ignorance, I went along getting a huge part of this section stitched before noticing it. Damn, damn, and double damn!!! This piece relies on my paying attention! It also relies on pretty strict adherence to the chart with no fudging allowed - too many straight lines and too narrow margins between bits & pieces all over the place. I had to frog it all out - take a deep breath and restitch - hence the only bit I've "correctly" stitched this last week or so is the "wavy navy" section... on to the "morning glory" next!! It happens and we move on!

I just started a new cross-stitch piece and have already had to frog a few times. I feel your pain. What you have "correctly" stitched is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo frustrating! But as you said, we've all done it. It's a gorgeous piece.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, how annoying but it is a stunning piece, Edgar.
ReplyDeleteBless your patience...I might have rolled it away for another day.
ReplyDeleteBut there you go....on toward the finish correctly.... a real pro.
Impressive progress nonetheless Edgar. I know it is not possible, but I believe that sometimes I frog more than I stitch LOL. As you said, take a breath...and stitch on. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Edgar but so sorry for the frogging. I did a bit of that myself last night! UG!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous, Edgar. Sorry that you had to rip out!
ReplyDeleteEdgar, this is beautiful! No fun, but we've all been there with the frogging...
ReplyDeleteDearest Edgar: This is such a stunning piece, I hate frogging but in the end it is worth it.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
