Still not happy ...

I discovered what my problem was on Jolly Old Fellow - I've somehow added a stitch to the top of page 3. Right at the top, close to the start of page 3. And I've carried the error right down through the sky. I only discovered it when I tried to follow the chart for the hat, and kept running into trouble. I'd like to say I immediately ripped out all the stitches I finished this week to correct the error. I didn't. I decided that I (and possibly you?) would be the only one(s) to pick the error when it's framed and sitting on the wall. And I can live with that. So, I started stitching up from the bottom of the page and by the time I get to where the top and bottom halves join I am confident I can adjust my stitches to make it all fit. Then I will drop a stitch from the beginning of page 4 from the rows that have an extra stitch. Because it's mostly sky I don't think it will be noticeable at all. That's my story, and I'm stitcking to it!

I'm wishing I'd taken Yoyo's advice to grid my fabric - I never have in the past, but I can see the advantage ... another lesson learned ...
