cross-stitch experiments

[edenfalling]

I decided to try swapping out some colors in a cross-stitch pattern I designed this past winter, and after filling in enough to get a good visual sense of how they would fit in the overall design... nah, I was right the first time.

So now I have to snip some knots and unpick a bunch of stitches, but hey. I have learned something from the experience.

The unpicking is going to be so tedious, though. *sigh*

Oh, I design patterns online so I can play around with different color options! But colors on a screen (glowing light) don't always translate perfectly to colors of thread (solid, non-glowing physical objects) so I second-guessed myself when looking at how the actual embroidery floss appeared against the aida cloth.

In the event, I was right the first time and should have trusted my design. *wry*
