So, the pattern has this cute tiny spider hanging from a tree, but he only has 6 legs. Well, we all know that 8 legs is what separates spiders from the insects. So I had to give him one more leg on each side.
Don't you think he looks more like a spider now?
I have a question about my 'Very Scary'. Here is a picture of how far I've gotten. Do you see the mistake? It's on the right side boarder. It is over one thread too many. Just one thread.
I've messed up on this much (pictured below) and would have to 'frog' this much. What I want to know is.... can you tell? Can you tell the board is over one too many threads? If you look at the picture above and compare the too sides, you can tell the zig zag is over two thread from the straight black line on the left side. What do you think?
If you were wondering, I did change my top row grass color. The pattern called for 'Cadet', but I used two different colors instead. One strand of 'Thyme' and one strand of 'Bullfrog'.
Below is the 'Cadet' color I didn't use. It is a pretty color, I just didn't like it for this project. :o) I felt the 'Cadet' made the house look like it was floating in the water.
Here's a picture of the whole thing..... can you tell the mistake? Should I 'frog' it? Or just leave it?

It looks wonderful!
You know what I would do...
Looking good!
I'm doing the same thing(as you know). Because the border changes so much and is not consistent at all, I don't think you really need to frog. My other rule is, if it will bother me I frog. You might leave it for awhile and see if it bugs you or not. I just love Hocus Pocus!
It looks lovely, Amy. I would probably frog it, since it really isn't very far back you have to take out to get to the little mistake. Easy enough-- you are a whiz!
Your stitching is great !
I also love tho hocuspocusvile. i also have the pattern but haven't started yet.
What do you use for tracing the pattern onto the fabric, I saw it in a precious message and it was so clear to see. i always use a normal pencil 0.5 to trace them.
I am not a cross-stitcher...Wish I was, but I ALWAYS miss count along the way, and find it frustrating! I have a VERY difficult time seeing the mistake! I would leave it, but then, I am no expert! DO what you think will look best! You have a great eye for these things! Love the color changes that you used!
