Jane Seymour's Blackwork Cuffs - Corrected Pattern
I was staring at Racaire's photo of the Seymour cuffs again today, and I noticed two more flaws in the online charted pattern in addition to the problem of crosses v. diamonds--the S-border is more regular in size and the flowers have a double-square instead of a diagonal line for the approach toward the centre.
I have decided to forgo re-embroidering my version yet again, as I'd have to unpick an awful lot of my work to get it to be like the original at this point, but I've worked up what I believe is a corrected version of the pattern here. I'll include this new chart with my documentation.
At least now I can't possibly keep the cuffs because they're wrong in a way no one else will see, and I'll know that whomever wins them in this summer's tourney is going to appreciate them way more than I shall.
