Decapitating the Pico : 0

Just when I thought I was into the home stretch, I saw I had missed a joining picot - four repeats back!

After cutting out the offending pieces, unfortunately and in true Fox form, I also beheaded a picot on a chain where a bead is to go.

Hmmmm.  Nasty bit of faking to be performed.... *sigh*

    OUCHH! This is utterly irritating, both finding the missing picot joint and missing out a picot, and then having to cut out both! What are you going to do with this thread out?

    That sentence was in there in error! Thanks, Val.

    I decapitated a picot myself today while trying to tat my little heart. I had one peak joined to the other peak. In fact, when I did it I was wondering what that would be referred to. But you answered my question! I was calling them "neutered" lol

    I hate when I do that... lucky for me, I haven't gotten into the beading yet. ; )

    Have fun fixing!

    I do that more than I care to admit... Fortunately I don't use beads often enough to make me want to pull my hair out much more than just occastionally having a missing picot!

    There's nothing worse than a mistake, it happens to us all, not just you. I would never have known if you had not said so, well done it looks good.
