I had to frog on his beak, it was all squashed, straddled, and fractional stitches, a total nightmare, forget 'one over two down' type counting, it was like doing an Irish jig with the needle
I ended up 1/2 stitch too short

Well, it doesn't show, it looks perfect. Sorry, though, that you had to worry about it. I hope you feel good about it now!!!!!
Because it is absolutely wonderful. (Oh, my, why am I so green?

Jilly you can't tell that anything went wrong with it, it looks wonderful!
You obviously made a fabulous job of sorting it!

I just zapped the frog with my lazer like needle and put it right, I started with his beak as I knew I might go wrong, it all frogged out fine, no harm done

Fabulous Jilly, just love it.
I found a biscornu freebie on line, four frogs. I'm going to stitch it and stick pins in them.
