I had a sinking feeling as I began to work this over with the new colors, that I'd miscounted the first time. Of course when I picked it up again the other day, I started with the next dividing band under the little filip on the end of the ribbonwork, and carried on blithely (wanting to start with positive new colors instead of negative picking-out). I kept trying to tell myself that it was okay, it just looked a bit longer than it should because there was nothing beside it for scale (!), but no -- I had counted not just slightly wrong, but very wrong, when I started the ribbonwork of the floral band last summer. Not just "threads" wrong, but "inches"! so that new signature line will have to come out.
Well -- (sigh) -- I am certainly enjoying the new colors, that's something! And I must say, I do like a nice bit of satin stitch ...
