The very very fine house

was poorly constructed.  Once again, I stitched without careful study of the chart.  Who knew the roof was narrower than the house?   If noticed,  I would have changed it to exactly as I stitched it anyway, aligned with the house side.  Lizzie wouldn't mind I'm sure.

 
I counted the motifs off of the chimney which is two stitches off, and never checked the placement with the row above.  Another mistake.  It's a stroke of luck that there is room in the design to move the motifs to the right.  No harm done!  Whew.  I should be finished soon.

On May 8 I will be given the Prokera Lens which will cause blurriness and then days later it will be removed and the other eye will receive one.  No stitching for at least a week, maybe longer, and I am hesitant.  No harmful effects with this amniotic treatment, but I have such reactions to the ordinary!  

Making nutrolls tomorrow.  Finally.  And once again, the florals on my leggings will become very large blooms.

If you didn't always point out your counting errors, we would never know.
So what is the purpose of the Prokera Lens. It's something I've not heard of.

Yes, if you don't tell, we'd never know about your errors. OTOH, I'm glad to know -
a. I'm not the only one that has trouble sometimes
b. not every error needs to be ripped out and re-done

I had to look up the lens - I hope it works for you!

Glad you won't be ripping out any of your stitches, Marly. No one would ever notice, I'm sure.

I had never heard of the Prokera Lens, but it sounds like it might help with dry eyes? Very interesting and I hope you get some relief! Try to enjoy this yukky weekend weather :)

As I echo other sentiments, if you didn't point out the off-count, I would never know. I am absolutely sure that every single thing I have done is "off!" I even look at my early long-arm quilting and on a few of them, I sort of forgot what pattern I was using and changed it and then didn't even know it until I had advanced the quilt. Ha, and I dare anyone to comment.
Oh, nut rolls. My absolute weakness. I rarely make them anymore, I head to Delallo's in Jeanette and spend a lot of $. But that's a good thing because my flowers are already in bloom!
Best wishes with the lens. I am not familiar with the process but there is a lot of positive feedback so far. Will be thinking of you.
