Cross or half stitch

I'm working an ALTP light world. But I don't seem to get along because I get bored with doing the crosses.
After I made the half stitches I'm too bored to fill them up and make full crosses :banghead:

So, if I were to decide to start over and to make it in half stitches, would it look 'good', would you see a big difference?

You would definitely be able to tell the difference. It'll give it a sketchy sort of feel, rather than pixelated.

Half-stitch:

The half stitch does go loads faster, and it would help if you used more threads. Like 4-6 threads instead of 2-3 will help to fill up the space.

Thanks.

I think I'm going to start over, or it'll never get finished :p
