This is now a few bits in. I'm really enjoying stitching this lovely. I had to adjust my tension at the beginning because I found I was pulling too tight. I actually pulled out the entire left diamond and started again. And miscounted, so pulled out and started yet again ! Now I've got the hang of it.
Frogging is just the worst! But I'm always glad I took the time. But, still!
Yes, I had the same issue and had to loosen up my stitching a smidge. I'm just putting together the larger version of Ukranian Crisscross that I'm going to work with the Appleton's wools and I'm looking forward to stitching with the wool again :)
