Well, not really, but I'm ripping out stitches yet again, and I have my pattern right in front of me! 
Maybe there's something wrong with my head. I was nearly done with the first set of stitching when I saw it looked wrong, then I compared it to my pattern and realized what I'd done--so: ripping out stitches again !
Anyway, I'm taking a break from the cross-stitch project a bit--it's almost lunchtime, anyway. 
Maybe later this evening I'll go back to it.

Always good to take a break from things when it's not going too well.

Good to take a break, but it sucks that you have to take out stitches. Do you use a seam ripper to cut them?

No, I just use my scissors. Yeah, having to take out stitches is not fun. :(

@xstitcher Personally, I hate it. It really hurts when I am using metallic thread or silk and since they are so expensive, I try to keep the thread whole when I take them out.
