Have you ever finished a piece of stitching, ironed it, photographed it, stored it (or framed it, or made it into a cushion), and then realised that you had in fact missed out several stitches? Or even forgotten a part of the design altogether?

Very annoying when that happens. A little embarrassing, too. But it could be worse. Have you ever finished a piece of stitching, ironed it, photographed it, stored it, all without realising that you had forgotten a part of the design altogether?

Even more annoying. And even more embarrassing. But it could be worse. You could turn it into a chart pack, with a photograph on the front, and put it up for sale. Which is what I did.

The design in question is Vienna, and below are details from the chart and the stitched model. Can you spot the difference?

So my most heart-felt thanks to the eagle-eyed customer who was kind enough to point the mistake out to me – I have retrieved the stitched model from my portfolio and will be cutting the missing holes this weekend!
