Day2: advent calender scarf = issues

day 2
Day one was a breeze day two not so much for me.  I have never placed beads in this manner nor have I done nupps.  The beads not an issue pretty straight forward.  But the nupps are a little nightmarish to me I have frogged that section at least 3 times but not more than 5.  
I think I have decided to leave it mistakes and all I am supposed to do that section again.  When I do it the second time I am going to break up the stitch repeats from left to right with stitch markers and see if that fixes it.  then I can compare the two areas and see the mistakes I made.  I feel a little silly leaving it but I have decided in the long run it won't bother me too much as this is a learning piece and that is how it is.  The pink line you see running through the piece is a temporary life line which has been used several times already.  I think I will be adding them at the end of everyday so if I have to frog I only frog up to that line and don't have to fix other days work.  Well I have learned I am not up to this level yet but that never stops me full steam ahead and learn as you go that is how I do hand work and always have.


I plan on getting back to Romanian point lace in the near future just after the deaths I needed to clear my mind and focusing on something hard does that.  Romanian lace is very easy to me since I have done it for so many years that my mind wonders and well sort of makes me sad especially since the pieces i have to work on I was showing my grandmother as I did them and she wanted to see them finished and show her.  Just not exactly the same to me at the moment to work on them as I don't get to play show and tell with her, she was my greatest admirer of my stuff.  I miss getting to show her my finished projects.
