I missed two stitches in the border height starting right beneath the yellow flower. The body's start is aligned with the pink flower, and now higher/closer to the border top by two rows.
Jane Southward 1836 is one of three larger projects that were set aside because of size, color changes, and linen choice, thought I would add a few stitches between choosing next projects. Jane is 36 count Seraphim and more difficult for me to work than the previous project's 46. Why? Dark linen vs. light linen.
My options now that the errors were found...
1. Remove the border starting below and including the entire flower, continuing through to end.
2. By adjusting the body section, less frogging, but continued confusion and chart adjustments resulting in more errors.
3. No frogging, reduce the size of top motifs on each side of the center floral basket by two rows, and the top right corner of the random border will not be a problem to fudge.
4. Put her to sleep and choose a new project.
The End.

Beautiful piece! And great linen choice! It looks so much like the original photo (at least from the photo.). I guess I'd be inclined to go with option 1. Adjusting things (more like REMEMBERING to adjust them) as I go along would likely not end well for me. She's too lovely to put away. ~Robin~
Yikes, not sure what I would do. Am sure you will figure out what is best for you. I hope you done put it aside as it looks like a wonderful pattern. Janice
Option 5 - do option 2 or 3, making a copy of the chart, cut and tape the changes needed. I don't think I'd trust my memory while stitching that those changes needed to be made. Otherwise, as much as I'd be swearing while I did it, option 1 is what I'd do.
That's a nice linen, gives a nice old look, not too blotchy.
