Oh dear.
I guess it had to happen sooner or later…
The keen-eyed among you will have spotted a slight error in the April page of the 2025 daily stitching template.
It looks like I’ve omitted to erase the vertical line that runs between 9 and 10 on the template, circled in red.
I hope the solution is fairly obvious, but you just need to choose either the vertical or the horizontal line that separates 9 and 10. From the positions of the numbers, it looks as if my intention was for the division to be horizontal.
I wouldn’t mind, but I (and another person) checked these templates about a hundred times before publishing them.
I guess this is proof, if it were needed, that (a) I’m human and therefore fallible, and (b) that everything I produce is hand-drawn.
My sincere apologies for the error and for any confusion caused. Easily remedied, I hope.
And I hope the rest of my week – and yours too – passes without further frustrating errors.

As a retired proofreader/editor, I can say you\’ve been incredibly successful in keeping things error free if this is the first one that\’s got through. I can remember books that have been checked repeated times by several different people and still the first thing noticed on looking at the first published copy was an error that had slipped past everyone. So don\’t beat yourself up about it, just keep up the brilliant stitching.
thanks so much. It’s a minor frustration, in the great scheme of things, as I do like to think I’m a fairly competent proofreader. I’m often surprised by the number of grammatical errors and typos that find their way into some modern fiction.
I did not even notice… but, frankly, I think it is brilliant. It allows space for us stitchers to decide are we vertical or horizontal as April looms!
that’s exactly the response I was hoping for, thank you 🤗 – and yes, I also think it’s good to have a choice.
thanks for the update on April template- I haven’t traced mine out yet – on my to-do for this week so will amend. I hadn’t noticed…
thanks Gina. Should be very simple to rectify.
One of the many things I’ve learned from the daily stitching journal and your wisdom is acceptance. I don’t remove stitches and I like the freedom that comes with that experience. Like life, there are many unexpected surprises. This new practice has spread through a variety of my creative adventures and I am so enjoying it! Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to replace old ideas with new ones.
that’s so wonderful Rebecca, thank you so much.
I’m also impressed that this is the first “error” to get through! I co-authored a book twenty years ago, and even though there were I think seven people copy-editing, when I got my author copy, I found a typo we’d all missed!
thank you – yes, not a bad strike rate, all things considered, but v. frustrating nevertheless. And that single typo in your book (interested and intrigued – what’s the title?) – equally annoying, I bet. But 99.99% correct is pretty good going!
“Fancy Yarns: Their Manufacture And Application”, published 2002, I think. I don’t imagine the typo I found is the only one, but there aren’t many.
ah, thank you, that sounds interesting
