Every piece of stitching I touch at the moment, I go wrong on. Not just a bit either - humongous frogs of doom level of wrong. First I realise on part 3 of Celtic that I am out by one stitch making me have to frog the bottom section - it took me over a week. Then I'm stitching on Taj and realise a paisley ornament is out by half a stitch. Now I find that I'm a stitch out on Holland and will have to take out the left side. I counted so carefully. 3 times even. I'm so frustrated I want to scream. And I've forgotten to take my allergy pills today so I feel tired enough to cry as well (stitching errors not related to allergy pills, I've been a really good girl lately with that). This is essentially a huge 'why me' whine. Sorry for being so mopey about so little.

I'm sorry you're going through this, and I hope the stitching gods treat you much better very soon. Gio My Flickr - My Webshots - My blog

Stop stitching....for a little bit anyway. Sometimes it's because I have too many other things on my mind distracting me...sometimes it's just because I am a little too tired. I'll get some of my stash out , and go through it, or my fabrics, plan future projects...still stitching related, just not actually stitching. Then I go back to try again. One thing I have found though is that it is better for me to frog the mistake before I put the piece away. Then I can go back to it, nice and fresh and ready to stitch! Almost forgot....A little fairy dust might help, too! ~Michele~ A Simple Thread-My Stitching Blog

Posts: 786 06/19/08 02:20 AM The Frog Destroyer	Thanks everyone. I needed to vent to people who would understand as my partner, though he tries, doesn't quite get it. I had some wine last night and watched some TV (as in actually had my eyes on the screen!) and gained some perspective. I'll be frogging on the weekend and will not be stressing about regaining lost time. In the meantime, I have a nice, easy baby sampler to work on the next two evenings. Sali, proof that fairy dust works.

Best to do is what you're doing already. Relaxing and doing something else in the meanwhile. I hope you'll show off the baby sampler. Gabi Gabi My Pictures

Sometimes I switch wips and that helps but not always as the frogs are generally related to how I feel (if I feel off or tired, that will populate the frogs). Hang in there, it too will pass. Hazel
