UFO > WIP > Finish in 48 Hours

I haven't touched this piece since August 2013.  It was started as a challenge piece earlier in the summer.  I made a miscounting error [one lousy thread]  that I didn't discover till I finished stitching the border ,,, which obviously didn't line up by said one lousy thread.,  Since I would have had to frog 1/3 of the border, I set it aside in disgust. I do have the occasional stitching tantrum.  I am not proud of the fact but the truth is inescapable.

I pulled the piece from the WIP basket Sunday night  and began the tedious task of frogging rice stitches.  It took several hours and once the frogging was done, I realized I had another problem.  In one of my re-organizing frenzies, I had inadvertently un-kitted the project.  Hence, my search through the archives of this blog to find the entry that listed the fibers used:  Belle Soie Apricot, Beanstalk and Terra Potta.  Then it was simply a matter of retrieving the proper floss and getting back to stitching.  The ease and speed of the whole process makes my tantrum seem such a tempest in a teapot!
