I was stitching along merrily and happy with my progress.
And then I sat up and smacked myself on the head. I'm planning on only the stitching the lady and had cut the fabric for that. Do you see where this is going? Yep, I started stitching from the centre of the entire pattern. Cue almost two hours of frogging and then restarting. Luckily most of the ripped out area should be covered by the skirt. But I still can't believe I made such an amateur mistake!

Sorry to read about your mistake but at least you noticed it before you'd stitched too much. I'm glad you've chosen the autumn colours to stitch her in. I shall enjoy watching her grow - she's on my to do list too! :)
ouchie .... I have this one 3/4's done ... think you may finish it before I do ... doing the same colour way too :) love mouse xxxx
You are brave to rip it out, I always get a new piece of fabric, lovely colours
Oh dear, so frustrating after so much being done already! It will look lovely, I'm sure :)
That sucks! But at least you noticed before the end. Your restarting from the skirt up?
I did it too, only once in my stitching carreer, with a BIIIIG piece, I had already done three of the five pages of the top row when I noticed the fabric being dangerously short... So I had to restart the all thing, but hey, it happens! and restarted her on a new piece of fabric and this time from the bottom up, so it felt like an all new start.
Ciao!

Oh my...I am sure you will have it sorted out and it will look beautiful.
These things happen, unfortunately. Your restart progress is great though. Looking forward to seeing it progress :)
Sucky :-/ Sorry to hear about the evil frog. I must say though, the colors in this one are wonderful. I loved your Ohm piece so much I'm thinking about getting it to stitch for my mom for her birthday next year!
Oh rats!!!!!! You have my sympathy for all that frogging! And having to frog such lovely stitching is too sad for words.
