GAH!
Last night I pulled out my " America Land That We Love" sampler to work on. I was looking forward to finishing another state (Idaho--woo...potatoes). I was working on the backstitching when I realized I had a big ol' knot on the back that happened way back at the beginning. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! So I had to frog all that backstitching, which included some French knots that had to be cut out. And yes, I had to do it all because this knot left a loooooong loop of loose floss on the back. Frogging x's is annoying--frogging backstitch from between the x's on 18 ct fabric is a whole 'nother realm of frustration. I had to put it away after that.
I think I will start another pattern on 22ct (Yes, another one--don't judge me! :P ). It's from a blog called Sylvia's that is in German. She's having a year-long SAL that is just so darn cute! It's called "My Little Heart" (I think) and it's a monthly square themed around, well, the months and hearts. It will be a tad under 7" square on 22ct. Tiny, I know, but I like stitching tiny. Once I'm caught up it looks like it would be one or two evenings a month, and at the end I'll have a charming little sampler. Note to self: stop and get some white 22ct on the way home.
