What do you think?
Have a look at the two green flowers. Can you see the colour difference at the top of the second one? I had a skein and a little bit of WDW Moss, so I used the little bit, not realising that the whole skein was a brighter shade. Usually I'd frog the bit and restitch, but that's going to be a pain and I'm wondering if it adds to the charm a little on this type of design. What do you think?
For anyone wondering how the seeds are doing, here's an update. Slow but sure. I haven't done anything special - just kept them near a window in the warmth. The seeds in the ground outside are showing no signs of sprouting though. I don't think they get enough sun.
And here are the marigolds - big enough to go outside in the day time - and a pot of salad that is coming up surprisingly fast.

I can see the difference on the close-up picture but honestly, I think it looks absolutely fine and would just leave it alone :)
ReplyDeleteThe thing that's bugging me a bit about mine is that my Gingersnap and Mulberry are virtually identical in colour - looking at everyone else's, the newer dye lots are obviously much more of a contrast. Still, no-one's really going to know once it's done ;)
You're making great progress and the seedlings are coming along nicely. Tomorrow's weather forecast is good, so I'm determined that we're going to get ours sown!
Oh, I can see the difference although I think it makes it even more "old" looking...line one maybe was hung in a spot of sun and was a bit faded...you know what I mean...I definitely would keep it :) Your going along gangbusters!
ReplyDeleteI can see a difference too but I think it add to the design.
ReplyDeleteI can see the difference and I think it looks charming. Leave it in leave it in! :>
ReplyDeleteCharming!
ReplyDeleteI can spot the difference too, but I think it fits in well with BBD. I would only change it if I wanted it all to look the same....and I hate frogging ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think it's gorgeous!! For what my humble opinion is worth... :)
ReplyDeleteI have one flower bed where I just put the seeds right in the ground-sunflowers, cosmos, zinnias and marigolds. I use to start veggies in pots, but they got too spindly, so I purchase greenhouse plants.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you put your little plants outside a few weeks before you plant them so they harden off. I would say they should have their second set of leaves on them by that time.
I can see the difference but I think it looks perfect and adds character.
ReplyDeleteIt's not only charming, it looks like a true New England house - we tend to touch up the paint here and there (for instance, as shingles need to be replaced) and as a result, the paint jobs can be rather mottled. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great as it is, afterall nature is never uniform :)
ReplyDeleteYour seedlings are looking great, fingers x'd for some nicer weather!
There is a difference, but not so out place!! Your sprouts are looking great.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks quite charming, so - I would leave it in!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks lovely and it gives yours a very unique and pretty touch!
ReplyDeleteI can see the difference, but wouldn't have thought it was "off". I would have figured that it was simply variations in the threads, rather than different dye lots. Your thread's just more variegated than some of the others. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe pots of salad seem to grow pretty quickly. I planted some outdoors and they sprouted in no time. Same thing with radishes.
It looks natural to me. I wouldn't frog it unless it just really, really bugs you.
ReplyDeleteI can see the difference, but it looks like it's supposed to be that way. I'd leave it!
ReplyDeleteI think the stitching is beautiful as is (and yes I can see it too).
ReplyDeleteAnd I have sprout envy.
I think it looks fine as it is - and it's coming along so nicely too!
ReplyDeleteI almost missed the 1 strand of silk instructions too on the LHN Coffee series (I didn't notice until I'd started) - it's at the front of the chart under the fabric info! If you run out of any of the thread LMK as I'm sure that I have enough left over that I could send you. It's unlikely you will, though - it was just Teddy Bear for Frap that I had the probs with.
ReplyDeleteI'll ptobably take a wee break on WMHB for now and see how everyone else is doing with the SAL first. I'm cheating a bit, I can sometimes stitch to my wee heart's content working from home. :-) Yours is looking lovely, btw! The different colours definitely adds charm!
Your BD looks very beautiful already!
ReplyDeleteI have the same pattern as a kit, and I'd really like to start it, but at the moment have no time to do it!
So I'm very looking forward to seeing your progress! :D
Thanks for being one of the first commenters on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI think your piece is looking great just as it is!
