8/15/15 - Woe is me :-(

August 15, 2015

Stitching seemed to be going well - I was proceeding (per the instructions) with all the cross stitch before I could begin the embroidery portion.  See those last seven or eight rows at the bottom in the middle?  Well, those are over-one stitches using one strand of floss.  On 28 count fabric those stitches are eeee-tiny - even with my magnifier my eyes want to cross :-)  Something suddenly struck me - I'm not sure what and I looked at the completed picture and the chart I was working on - and realized I had the chart UPSIDE DOWN.  Oh lordy :-(  So I'm going to have to pick out all those stitches and re-do that section.  Woe is me. . . . .
