I did that thing you're not supposed to do when designing. I didn't write down what I was doing as I went along. I thought I would get back to it while I still remembered what I was doing... and I didn't. And I also tell myself I can always go back and count stitches, but I didn't take into account that I'm using very small, very pale thread. Oops. I hit on the solution to scan it and then blow up the picture real big. That helped... a little... maybe.
Later: Hmmm...maybe next time, up the contrast with Photoshop too.
It's funny how you always think you'll remember what you did, even though experience should tell you otherwise! I hope this solution does the trick.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate fox paws. They seem to sneak up behind me when I least expect them!
ReplyDeleteWhen you get 'old' you can sometimes use 2 pairs of reading glasses (worn at the same time) as a 'magnifier' to help you count stitches in tiny thread. Helps in un-tatting mistakes tatted with very small thread, too. ;-)

My problem is when trying, repeat trying to design something I do exactly the same as you did, think I will remember what I have done. Just can't waste time stopping to write things down!!! Good luck with this design
ReplyDeleteThat's why I leave designing to wonderful people like you!
ReplyDeleteI think we all have been there at some time or another.

I use a magnifying app on my phone to figure out patterns tatted by my grandmother. It's amazing how much detail you can pick up!
