Re: Cafe La Frog 2013
I had a giant frogging session the other night...I had started my project with the long side of the pattern going along the short side of the fabric. Whoops! I had completed a full column of 10x90. Guh! But I think I got it straight now

Re: Cafe La Frog 2013
frogs. I don't know why there are patches that they seem to live in. I know I have ed the same areas several times in different projects. Like that part of the piece has been designated for one of the 10 plagues! Hope the shower revives only you. Maybe you should put this piece away for a short while and allow it to recover? Of course, I would probably keep at it and keep through my frustration, which is why its probably not the best idea.

My fingers are that the little beggers are gone for good.destructiveernie wrote:100 stitches in and I'm hopeful that the was washed away in the shower!!!
I haven't had an episode of froggness for a while. I think they must not like all the rain we have been getting.
Cheers

Just realized I miscounted on the next page of Owl Spirit Shield and must now rip out a day's labor. Stupid !

I hate it when that happens!
Re: Cafe La Frog 2013
I actually gave up on a project due to I was about 80% done the piece, but one half didnt seem to line up to the other quite right. it was a pattern I had made on msPaint so after double checking my printed pattern that nothing was amis I went to the origional on the computer. somehow when I separated the pattern into pages I lost one row of stitches. so half the design was out by one stitch. I never picked it up again. sometimes I think about starting again on new fabric, but thats just so disheartening to.

I think its time we have a Froggy Fire! He's been a bit too active lately.
Re: Cafe La Frog 2013
Do they come out more in the Spring? This could be what is creating the chaos

Re: Cafe La Frog 2013
I have a massive frogging session to look forward to, about 2000 stitches need to go.
I picked up my sunset angel and started stitching, but the stitches that have been there awhile (awhile as in 3 years or so) were worn and a bit dirty from handling, they did not match the new floss, which was nice and clean and well, new. I washed it to see if the old floss could be renewed, no luck it still looks off. it wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt a straight line of color change in a cloud. I will be blocking the rest of this project and I anticipate more frogging of older stitches. that will teach me to leave a ufo for so long in a hoop.
