Not very happy at the moment
Well that is an understatement

I got the pattern from here and have done about 1/5th of it. I have now realised that
a) the colours are incorrect
b) the pattern is incorrect to what the picture actually looks like
Really angry. If anyone else has done the pattern from here, please can you get in contact because I would like to speak to you about it

I feel the frustration but it's all part of it. I'm doing a massive LttP Title Screen with 4 stitches per pixel. I put in 250-500 stitches of the sky before I realized that the sky color was off and too dark. I had to pull the stitches. I was bummed but then I realized I had to get on with it or quit.

I ended up going to the store and finding Anchor floss. I am using anchor for the sky exclusively. The sky has four different shades from the lightest on top and getting progressively darker as it goes down. The colors I've used in order from top to bottom are Anchor 130, Anchor 144, Anchor 160, & Anchor 128.

Again, that is just my eye and my choice. Use it as you will but you can see the progress on this page: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5358

Also, I didn't mean for the first paragraph to be harsh. I feel that frustration. I think we've all been there. :-)
