I took these first two photos today.  Can you tell which one I took first?  Look closely… it seems obvious, but it’s not what you think.

Which one did you guess?

Here’s a close up photo of the sweater (the little pink one in front) that I embroidered a couple of days ago.  Do you see anything wrong with it?  I don’t think that I was having a very good day when I worked on it and didn’t notice how far off the sides were from mirroring each other.  I realize that hand made things aren’t going to be 100% perfect, but the more I looked at this sweater the more I knew I had to redo one of the sides; one motif took up a LOT more space than the other side took up.

So, the less compact motif is already ripped out, and I think I will be doing coordinating motifs, not mirrored motifs, on this sweater.  I am thinking two smaller motifs to balance the larger one.

You’ve already figured it out by now… the second photo is the first one taken.

I hope you all have a great weekend!  We are in for a very springlike weekend– yay!

Bye for now.
