I had to look hard to see what you meant but could you view it as an artist's imperfection? I'd have to frog it too

Thank you for your reassurances too.

Woolly the characterfulness in the second to last row is to correct the charaterfulness four rows below that. I'm itching to frog it but I really shouldn't!

Woolly - that is lovely!
oh Spin - I hope the DC's weren't too itchy .
I know what you mean about wanting to frog , but as you say , no-one else will ever see it unless you put a big arrow next to it! :) ( I'm a frogger in truth ...)
Like lots of things, you peer so closely at your own work , and everyone else is just seeing the loveliness

Blanket is done! Peskies finished; hopefully will be able to post tomorrow.
