Kersti's Stumpy bookmark (sans tail) in Southmaid, a variegated pink, size 10.
I loaded my shuttles with Aunt Lydia's size 10 in white and was a quarter of the way through another when I realized I had added a picot that shouldn't have been. Since I didn't want to untat and it was my second project of the night, I decided to hang it up, enjoy my drink and a snack and go home.
I worked on it again today and decided to make the same mistake throughout for uniformity. As I got around the other side of the piece, I realized that I had also added an extra 5 ds to the ring with the extra picot. Now that throws the whole thing off! I thought I might cut and run, but I didn't like leaving a piece that was so close to done.
Time to get creative... I started tatting chains and joining stuff and put in a small ring and came up with something else.
It's working title is Dadratted Heart (or Criminy!).
What a great way to turn tragedy into triumph! I probably would have snipped and trashed. Your solution is much more interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I put a jumpring on it et voila, it is a pendant.
DeleteWonderful way to change things. A new pattern.
