I counted my top border stitches, 242 of them, at least 6 times. AT LEAST! Today, as I was working on the gold just inside the border, I realised that something was wrong. 45 minutes it took me... FORTY-FIVE MINUTES! I counted everything over and over, certain that that first line of the border that I had done was correct - I'd counted it alt least 6 times. Finally, I heaved a great sigh and counted that bottom row of burgundyish stitches.
I WAS ONE STITCH SHORT!
ONE STITCH!
Many four letter words left my mouth.
So, could I fudge it? I studied my chart and decided that no... that wasn't going to cut it. I had to frog all those stitches. I had to RIPPIT.
It took me over an hour to rip out all those stitches. I really could cry, but I've been stitching for over 20 years and I know this is how it rolls sometimes. So the stitches have been ripped and I'm ready to start adding stitches once again.
Tomorrow. :)
