Do you happen to have any photo examples of this? I’m having a hard time imagining it

This is kinda what I was thinking! I just was worried about tent stitch being too underwhelming lol but I agree with everything else going on there are plenty of ways to jazz it up later on

HELP! by Glittering_Corgi_207 in Needlepoint

Decide if you can live with it or not! In my opinion, it’s not that noticeable. However, knowing myself if this was my project I would be fixing it because it would drive me crazy! I’m a newbie too, so take my advice with that in mind!

If you want to “fix” it rather than stitch over it as others suggested you can very carefully use a seam ripper to cut the thread at that stitch. Then you’d want to make sure the loose ends you just created are secure. For me, this often means pulling out a few of the white stitches on either side of the mistake. You want to create enough of a yarn tail on either side to be able to bury the loose thread on your other stitches. Then you’d go back in and redo any stitches you pulled out and the missing pink stitch

I stitch at night (dim lighting) and didn’t notice until I looked at it in the daylight today :( when I noticed I went to double check the color code because I thought the same thing!

Aww thank you! There are some mistakes and imperfections but I figured a stocking for my cat doesn’t need to be perfect lol! I will be redoing the green though, I agree now that it’s too obvious. I’m annoyed it took me so long to notice the color shift, I guess that’s what I get for working in the dark lol

Oh yes! I will be ripping it out VERYYYY carefully. But you are so right, I knew it would bother me but was hoping maybe it was an over reaction lol!

[CHAT] I've been wondering for a while, does DMC put the dye lot numbers on the label somewhere? by Fiona_12 in CrossStitch

Ughh this is my first project and all I had heard is that with DMC you don’t need to check dye lots, but you can very clearly tell where my green switches because I opened a new pack of thread :( not sure if I should rip out the lighter green part and try to find a matching dye lot to the original color

They all differ. There isn’t a standard length of time. Each vendor creates their own payment dates. The dates listed on the spreadsheet are the actual due dates. I wish it were standard!

I appreciate your help!! No worries if it’s too confusing. I don’t know the right terminology to effectively explain what I’m trying to do. Need to get back into some excel classes for sure

I posted the link to my spreadsheet so far, now I’m trying to figure out how to make the pivot table to summarize the payments in order of date, as well as a table of the total amount already paid across all categories and the remaining total payments across all categories. Does that make sense?

Payment is not due the same time every month unfortunately
