Question
Here's an interesting situation. I'm stitching along on my Fall Village scene and I just happen to glance at the front picture of the completed project. Well, the shaded side of the barn is a lighter color than I stitched. Thinking I misread the symbol I almost ripped out the stitches but then realized I had stitched the right color. The chart clearly says to stitch the shaded side the same color as the wagon. The wagon is dark brown. The side of the barn in the picture is like a dark gold color. Now the lighter color looks better but clearly this isn't what it's supposed to be and I don't know what color that is. In the picture the side of the barn is an obviously different color than the wagon, whereas in the chart it's the same. Now what do I do here? I emailed the company but haven't heard back yet. Just thought I'd ask around here.

That same thing happened to me recently (only I've been too lazy to pull out the stitches). What you can do is stitch it the way you think it looks the best, and substitute a few of the other colors with DMC floss that you like. It's your project, so you should like the colors.

As long as it's a solid block of colour (as opposed to all different shades of colours), I'd just go with whichever you prefer... although for me, it'd probably end up being the colour I've already stitched :P

I've started ripping it out already.. I think what is there is too dark. Now I guess I just have to figure out what color to put there *sigh*
