I was all ready to share my progress on LHN's Thread Gathering today however I've discovered a problem. Somehow I haven't started in the middle & now it won't fit on the fabric. So I have to frog the WHOLE LOT! Granted I hadn't stitched much - 5 cotton reels on the bottom right, the words "Cotton" & "Silk" on the right and the letters RING from Gathering. It was when I got to the G that I realised something was off. Yes, dear readers, I was a long way from the right side of the fabric and when I checked the centre, it was nowhere near where it should've been and there was no way it would then fit. Bugger. Not one of the cotton reels is in the right place!! I have absolutely no idea what I was thinking when I started.

Oh no Alison! I feel your pain. I made a mistake with LHN My Needle's Work recently where one of the vines is almost entirely one stitch over too far. I'm still deciding whether to fudge or pull it out.
It sounds like you don't have much of a choice but to frog all of yours. How devastating, you could cry. I was getting so excited to read that you'd started Thread Gathering as well. Hope you don't feel too disheartened. The end result will make up for the heartache now :)
Major bummer Alison!! Hope your re-start goes smoothly and that the frog has been blended!
That IS a buggar!
