SBQ: Starting Over?

14 February 2008, 10:17 pm. 1 Comment. Filed under Needlework.

The Stitch­ing Blog­gers’ Ques­tion of the Week is:

Do you have any projects that you have scrapped and started over? What made you start over from scratch?

Celtic Cross designed by Deb Davis for Y-Knot Designs
I can only remem­ber one, and I restarted it at least twice, maybe three times. It was the Celtic Cross designed by Deb Davis for Y-​​Knot Designs. I think I tried start­ing with one of the cor­ners, but kept find­ing myself off a bit, so I frogged every­thing and started from the mid­dle, as I usu­ally do. I still kept get­ting off by just a thread here or there, so I do think I frogged all that again, then started from the cen­ter again but work­ing in a dif­fer­ent direc­tion. I’m very pleased with how it turned out, but I think it was the last piece I did on linen instead of evenweave.

    I never do man­age to really start in the mid­dle of a charted design. I almost always spend a silly amount of time match­ing the chart to the fab­ric, then start­ing in the upper-​​left corner.

    I don’t think I could list all the things I’ve scrapped and started over. Frankly, it’s so frus­trat­ing when I do, I try not to think about it too much!
