New SAL

Those are those evil, one stitch of one color here then five squares later another one stitch and so on. It is hard to get into a easy flow when you do one color one stitch then another color 3 stitches then another ... well you get my point. The end product is lovely but the stitching is frustrating.

Also on the branches they do just one stitch all out by itself so it is hard to fasten off.

I think its so lovely that your son asked you to stitch this for him, It must make it so much more special for your to stitch.

aaaaaarrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhh Yesterday I had to

the same section 3 times. First it was off by one stitch. (Husbands said oh don't worry about it it is only one stitch. *He may walk again not sure*

) Then when I got it out I picked up the wrong color and before I realized it I had half of the section stitched.

ed again. So then I was a bit miffed and it was a bit dark as the electricity went out for about an hour during all this. So I started again in the same wrong spot. So I

ed it out and threw it down in disgust and found all the sites for my new bingo game and went to bed.

Good work, Rose. I am sure once you have arranged you room, stitching will be even more relaxing.

Can you all fill me in on this

thing?

Am I being dumb?

I had to have it explained when I joined this site as well.

When you go wrong and have to take the stitches out it's like 'rip it' out ... and frogs say 'ribbit'

...so 'rip it' becomes 'ribbit' ...hence the frog as a nickname sort of thing. We say we have to 'frog it' or we had a visit from the frog.

Not as dumb as me, I thought you were trying to add a frog into your design and it wasn't working very well

Thanks for the support all.

I did not even touch it last night as Hubby and I had tickets to a Bon Jovi Concert. Was a fabulous show really enjoyed the night of. I will tackle it tonight for a bit but the Sharks have a play off game and I don't stitch well when watching them. Things tend to get thrown when they make a bonehead play and all.

But it is really looking good have to get a picture up for you all.

Ice hockey? Baseball? American football? Tiddlywinks?

Please don't stitch if it gets that exciting, you'll end up with knots! But do give us a progress picture, just to whet our appetites for more, please....

So two pictures. This first one is how I am doing.

And this second one I am pointing to the area that the bad little frog sat and sat Monday.
