But seriously, a small error, I would just leave - but on this, I think it would bug me. If you only have to frog her crown, head and part of her right should - I would definitley frog. If you have to rip her out completely, then maybe try to fix it by adjusting the crown by one stitch. That's the perfectionist in me talking though.

I hate that sinking feeling when you realise something's gone horribly wrong. Personally I'd frog it, or at least 'personalise' the chart until Isis isn't headbutting the border. A few years back I would have left it as is, but I'm getting fussy in my old age! Argh! I hate that sinking feeling when you realise something’s gone horribly wrong.

I would frog it back...but thats me. and my Mom! LOL you know how fussy she is. Personally, probably, no one will notice maybe you can adjust it a bit. Oh boy that is a tough one…only you can decide.

You could try and shorten her crown by 1 stitch and see if that would work. Uggh!! You could try and shorten her crown by 1 stitch and see if that would work.

I'd frog it back. This is such a spectacular piece that took SO much time and effort --- do you really want to see the error every time you admire your work? You possible could just do the headpiece by taking 1 stitch out of each "upright" piece. It would then take you one stitch away from the border. On the other hand ... if it's really bothering you, I'd do the whole thing so that you'll always look at it with pride (but that may be my OCD side speaking.) ;-) For what it’s worth ….
