I am amazed at the mistake I made on the blackwork biscornu. I am almost done with the bottom.
I realized I totally messed up the backstitch around the top.
How is it possible to have the chart right in front of you and not follow it? The answer is I was not paying close enough attention. So now I will have to go back and take out the backstitch on the edge and put it in correctly. I didn't even realize that there are two lines of backstitch around the edge. I'm just clueless!
With luck, I'll get this all put together today. It would be great to have a finish.
I went walking at the Y and there were all kinds of people there. I sort of like it when it is deserted and I am the only one. I'm going to try walking outside tomorrow. I hope the trail is clear of snow and ice by then.
I didn't get the Amy Mitten kit yesterday. Hopefully, I'll get it tomorrow.
Here is where I am on the Z Sampler scissors fob.
I changed the heart to a pink color. It was charted in green. Green?!?! I tried different colors on the edging thinking that if I made it a light cream color that it would look like lace. It totally disappeared! So I went back to the color that was recommended (612?).
This coming week is supposed to be warm. But of course, warm is a relative term. I hope we get rid of all the snow and I can walk outside everyday!

So sorry you goofed on your blackwork. I have been avoiding stitching this week because I have been so very tired I knew I would make some mistakes. I really hate to frog. I like the color change for the heart. I agree that green would be a little weird. I hope you get done with the frogging quickly and get back to stitching.
ReplyDeleteSorry you have to re-do part of the Biscornu.
ReplyDeleteThe fob is turning out nice.
I would make the heart pink or red also.
