Rrrrripulation frustration!


I've had this project for some time: O Come All Ye Faithful by
Patricia Andrele and was so excited to start it this past week.
Got the outside border completed and it matched up beautifully
--always a bonus!   Then began inside border on the left side
--got to the bottom and found I was off by one row!  Tried,
tried tried to find error.  See next shot...
FOUND IT!---they  dropped the design down by 1
row in the middle of the pattern!  So it was
rrrripulation to get it back to this point

and I'm all ready to start again. This pattern has
a lot of speciality stitches throughout the church
which I'm really looking forward to doing.  Realized
today there are some advantages to growing older --I
do have more patience--years ago I would have through
this out rather than track down the error!  But it's great
to move forward knowing all is as it should be.

  2. Oh yes, the infamous add a stitch in the middle of the pattern! In this case the three "m" symbols! Ugh! Wishing you speedy restitching!
    Looks like a very pretty pattern and colors!

  4. I have tossed more than one project because of errors I had made. Good for you for sticking with it. It will be beautiful when done.
