back after two steps forward. Becoming more like a polka. Roll out that barrel baby!
You would think this is the photo from days ago after I had removed the border because of being two stitches off. And you would be wrong. What? That numbskull wouldn't have removed it the second time, it was aligned exactly as the chart. Again, wrong. I have so many faults they could be alphabetized, this one is in the S's. Symmetry disorder. I didn't want to say symmetry obsession because it's not always an issue. Just when things aren't the same on each side. Yep. That's only a disorder, no?
When I removed the basting and unrolled the left side, a second look made me realize that Miss Rachel was not blessed with a symmetry disorder. Her left side is two stitches closer to that damn alpha border which made my original error symmetrical! To end this dance, I scanned the left side into Paint, flipped/reversed it, and I am using the layout of the left for the right. Basically the same, and now it's position will be also. Once I clean up the fuzz left behind, I'll give it another go 'round.
It feels like Sunday evening but isn't. Maybe too many sweets. I made the banana cake with coffee frosting that Carol forced me to with her description and photo. I am embarrassed to admit, I consumed 80% myself. I do need to make an attempt to drop 10 pounds.
If you're interested in the harvest soup recipe, go to my recipe blog and you'll find it along with Upstate Minestrone (cabbage and sausage favorite) and although I am a bean denier, French Market is also wonderful. Our local meat shop smokes the best ham hocks and that actually makes the beans tolerable.

Hmmm. Now that I looked up the recipes and saw the Orange Julius I want one.
Have a nice Sunday, already the second in Awktober. Damn skippy.

How do I find your recipe blog? Good luck with your stitching.
Oh no!! Not again to rip out your border!
Hope this time it will go smoothly and you can finish this border.
Take care and sending prayers and lots of love, Truus from Holland
Marly: I have had designs that have mistakes on the pattern, it is maddening, I had one where I ripped out three times then noticed that it was the designers fault, I do not think they check the printing.
This is a lovely design, looking forward to seeing it finished.

Ouch, how frustrating it must be for you! Sometimes, if correct it more than twice, and it still does not want to match, I tell myself that this is where it wanted to be, despite my tries. Then, I make it work the best I can. Helps me avoid frustration.
I hope your stitching brings you more peace than frustration from now on.
Stay well,
Well, Girl...I am proud of you. The old Marly would have burnt Rachel long before this. I have a strange variation of Symmetry Disorder: Asymmetry only bothers me on modern patterns....In antique reproductions I find it charming. Thanks for the link to the recipe...after I commented and thought about it, I though, duh...it's probably in your recipe blog. Duh. ~Robin~
