A Big Mistake and the Ensuing Frogging + A Favourite Thing

I was happily stitching away this morning (with Everett supervising) and watching YouTube videos.

I was so pleased with myself that I got the outline of the lower border finished and had rounded the corner. I went back to add something to the long bit and realized I had started the corner 15 stitches too soon!!! I had to remove all the stitches encircled in blue.  (insert bad language here)

So I hauled out my trusty seam ripper and started frogging.

What's left of those threads.

Oh well. It just means I get to stitch more. (insert eye roll here).

I am rather enjoying stitching with these Pony Black #26 needles on the 40ct linen.

The steel is black and the eye is painted white. They take a bit of getting used to, however, if you drop one on something light, the black makes it easy to find.

Conversely, if you drop it on something dark, the white paint shows up really well.

I have signed up for Kimat Designs' June 12 stitch day at the Lemonville Recreation Centre. The room is really well lit - great for stitching. Our fee includes light breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages; show and share - usually very inspiring; Kimat's exclusive boutique; and a special guest.

There are still a few spots left on both June 12 and 13. I have other plans for the 13th so am only going for the one day. Other scheduled days are Saturday, August 22 and Saturday, October 31.
