Today's plan was to add the leaves and quite possibly wind the snake around the trunk.
However, after spending a few more hours than usual sitting over the frame stand yesterday, my neck, shoulders, and back told me in no uncertain terms that I would not be sitting over a frame stand today.
So I puttered around the house and looked at stuff on Pinterest and Facebook and caught up on reading blogs and did a little bit of housework. Finally I decided I could probably stitch if I didn't bend over the frame stand, so I pulled out the next little sampler kit and started on its border.
If you look at this picture, you'll see a needle sticking in the border.
If you look very closely, you'll see that most of the stitches below it have been clipped so they can be removed.
I got off by one linen thread and was almost through with the whole outer border when I discovered the mistake.
I think I should have continued to putter.
That tree looks marvelous! Was just perusing Mary Corbet's site last night and thought her two posts on a *couched gimp tree* were fascinating - and here you are doing the same thing!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about frogging the border, but I had to laugh since I looked at the close up of the photo first (the bottom part since it felt closer) and simply couldn't figure out what stitch you were using.
