I had originally started Wanderer's Cove in the supersized version and was stitching it cross country. This works well enough, but I was really feeling kind of bummed because I felt like I wasn't seeing much progress and like I'd made too many mistakes when I first started. Well, I haven't done anything with it since February and I know that's because I've had other things taking priority in my rotation (gifts, etc) but now I'm thinking it might have more to it than that. I just wasn't happy with it. And how silly is it to stitch something for yourself that you aren't happy with? I started to think that maybe, possibly, it could be that I needed to start over.
Since I was already starting over, I decided to haul out both the regular and the supersized version of the charts. It had always struck me that the mock-up of the regular looked more vibrant, but I always just figured it was the mock-up itself. Yeah, most emphatically no. I went and compared parts of the charts to one another, the main yellows in the window specifically was where I first looked, and the yellow in the regular chart is so much bolder! DMC 3822 vs 726. Well, forget that. I'm not going to spend years and years on a chart that is going to be washed out in comparison to what I want. I restarted with the regular version. It's the same 28 ct new khaki lugana I had originally started on. I just flipped the fabric around.
But see! This is why mock-ups are important! Well, one reason anyway. My Forsaken has been forsaken... still nothing about it despite my finally deciding to ask about it again on the bulletin board.
