Aargh!

 Date today: 5/10/20

I decided to try out one of my graph paper designs with variegated thread today - for the blackwork course. 

I was well into it when I noticed that I hadn't done the design properly, it is meant to be symmetrical. 

Ah well, it is my own design, I can change it if I like. 

Then ... I discovered that my graphed design isn't accurate!! One side has 5 blocks for the line, the other (supposedly symmetrical) has 4!! So now I am just winging it, will see what develops as I sew. 

The white part of the thread isn't very good, it doesn't show up at all. So I am cutting those bits off and will see if I can find another use for them. Waste not, want not - especially in these lockdown days.
