Hand stitching. My poor little poked fingers. I had to take a break yesterday to let them recover a bit. I have now taken to putting mole skin, (made with real moles!) on the two fingers I use as "feelers". That seems to be helping.
Had to take out 2 rows today because my strength layer got wonky, and I'm going to need to shorten it by about an inch. Days like this make me wonder what I was thinking.

In which direction is the strength layer too large? It sounds as though it's the length, but...?
